Can someone please help me!? ASAP!!!!! A 1-pound weight has a mass of about 0.45 kilogram. What is the mass in kilograms of a sculpture that weights 570 pounds? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a kilogram.
256.6
or, 257 pounds
How did you get it? @Bandit56
times 0.45 by 570
ohhh it kilograms not pounds, so 257 kilograms
Wouldn't the answer be 256.6kg? @Bandit56
\(\large \begin{array}{llll} lbs&kgs\\ \hline\\ 1&0.45\\ x&570 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{0.45}{570}\)
Is my answer correct @jdoe0001
ohhh.... it was 570 lbs.. so... ok then \(\large \begin{array}{llll} lbs&kgs\\ \hline\\ 1&0.45\\ 570&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{1}{570}=\cfrac{0.45}{x}\)
Wouldn't the answer be 256.6kg \(\large \checkmark\)
\(\large \begin{array}{ccllll} lbs&kgs\\ \hline\\ 1&0.45\\ 570&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{1}{570}=\cfrac{0.45}{x}\implies x=570\times 0.45\)
