Question

how many kilograms are in 5000. ounces? (454g = 1lb, 16oz = 1lb)

1. oz×\frac{1lb}{16oz}×\frac{454g}{1lb}×\frac{1kg}{1000g}=kg

Explanation:

Step1: Convert ounces to pounds

We know that 16 oz = 1 lb. So for 5000 oz, we divide by 16: $5000\div16=\frac{5000}{16}$ lb.

Step2: Convert pounds to grams

Since 1 lb = 454 g, we multiply the result from step 1 by 454: $\frac{5000}{16}\times454$ g.

Step3: Convert grams to kilograms

Since 1000 g = 1 kg, we divide the result from step 2 by 1000: $\frac{\frac{5000}{16}\times454}{1000}$ kg.
\[

$$\begin{align*} \frac{\frac{5000}{16}\times454}{1000}&=\frac{5000\times454}{16\times1000}\\ &=\frac{2270000}{16000}\\ & = 141.875 \end{align*}$$

\]

Answer:

141.875 kg
