mathmale · Answer

Salvador's conversion factor is more accurate than mine, but I trust mine a bit further:

1 kg corresponds to 2.2 lb.

Thus, the weight of a 25 Kg table, in lb., would be $$\frac{ 25 kg }{ 1 }*\frac{ 2.2lb }{ 1 kg }$$

anonymous · Answer

yeah, its to the second decimal

mathmale · Answer

Try multiplying that out.

anonymous · Answer

55bl

anonymous · Answer

lb*

mathmale · Answer

Notice how close that is to Salvador's result?  My conversion factor is an approx., whereas his is much more accurate.  Notice how he did round off his answer to 2 decimal places?

What will you choose to be your final answer to this problem?

anonymous · Answer

55.11 than right ?

mathmale · Answer

Provided that Salvador is right (and I have no reason to believe that he isn't), YES!

Be sure you know where and how to obtain the appropriate conversion factor(s); personally, I'd do an internet search for exactly that, or for "kg to pounds conversion."
