Question

american airlines has a checked baggage allowance on domestic flights of one bag up to 23kg in weight. what is the weight limit in pounds? (1kg = 2.2lbs)
a 25 lbs
b 40 lbs
c 50 lbs
d 55 lbs

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the conversion factor

We know that \(1\,\text{kg} = 2.2\,\text{lbs}\), and the weight limit in kilograms is \(23\,\text{kg}\).

Step2: Perform the conversion

To convert kilograms to pounds, we multiply the weight in kilograms by the conversion factor. So, we calculate \(23\times2.2\).

$$23\times2.2 = 50.6$$

Since \(50.6\) is approximately \(50\) (when considering the answer choices), the weight limit in pounds is approximately \(50\) lbs.

Answer:

C. 50 lbs
