Question

use the given equivalents, along with dimensional analysis, to convert the given unit to the unit indicated.
590 kg to lb
590 kg ≈ lb (round to two decimal places as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the conversion factor

The conversion factor is \(1\ \text{kg} = 2.20462\ \text{lb}\).

Step2: Set up the dimensional - analysis equation

$$590\ \text{kg}\times\frac{2.20462\ \text{lb}}{1\ \text{kg}}$$

The \(kg\) units cancel out.

Step3: Perform the multiplication

$$590\times2.20462 = 1290.7258$$

Step4: Round to two decimal places

\(1290.7258\approx1290.73\)

Answer:

\(1290.73\)
