One kilogram is about 2.205 pounds.when a 55 gallon aquarium is filled it weighs 625 pounds. To the NEAREST TENTH how many kilograms is this.?

Answer 1

So just divide 625 by 2.205 = 283.5 kg

Answer 2

To do this, use elimination.
\[\frac{ 1kilogram }{ 2.205pounds } = \frac{ 625pounds }{ 55gallons }\]
multiplying this out cancels out the pounds and leaves you with
\[\frac{ 283.45kilograms }{ 55gallons }\]

So you're answer is in a 55 gallon tank, it weighs 283.45kilograms.
