Austin is ordering
4
bags of cat food from Canada. Each bag has a mass of
2.5
kg
. To determine the shipping costs, Austin needs to know the total weight in pounds. What is the weight of the cat food in pounds?
Use
1kg = 2.2lb
and do not round any computations.
The total weight of the cat food in kilograms is 4 bags x 2.5 kg/bag = 10 kg
To convert to pounds: 10 kg x 2.2 lb/kg = 22 lb
Therefore, the weight of the cat food in pounds is 22 lb.
Jim's uncle from Japan promised to give him
35
g
of gold. The local jewelry exchange will buy gold for
$1224
per ounce. How much money can Jim get for selling the gold?
Use
1oz = 28g
and do not round any computations
First, we need to convert the weight of the gold from grams to ounces:
35 g x 1oz/28g = 1.25 oz
Now we can calculate how much money Jim can get for selling the gold:
1.25 oz x $1224/oz = $1530
Therefore, Jim can get $1530 for selling the gold.
Laura is planning on visiting Moscow next week on business. Checking her WorldTemp app, she notices that on the day she arrives, the high temperature is forecast to be
−5.4°C
. What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (
°F
)?
Use the given formulas as necessary, and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, we can use the formula:
°F = (°C x 1.8) + 32
Plugging in the given temperature:
°F = (-5.4 x 1.8) + 32
°F = -9.72 + 32
°F = 22.3
Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get:
°F ≈ 22.3
Therefore, the temperature in Fahrenheit is approximately 22.3°F.
Epitaxian is a cutting edge technology company based in Maine. The company has just finished developing a prototype of a product it is calling the X-13. According to the company's documentation, the X-13 must be operated in a room that is kept at a temperature of
−11.1°F
. What is this temperature in degrees Celsius (
°C
)?
Use the given formulas as necessary, and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, we can use the formula:
°C = (°F - 32) x 5/9
Plugging in the given temperature:
°C = (-11.1 - 32) x 5/9
°C = (-43.1) x 5/9
°C = -23.94
Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get:
°C ≈ -23.9
Therefore, the temperature in Celsius is approximately -23.9°C.
To raise money for charity, Bill and some friends are hiking across the continent of Asia. While out on the trail one day, one of his American friends asks Bill for the temperature. He glances at his precision sports watch and sees that the temperature is
7.3°C
. What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (
°F
)?
Use the given formulas as necessary, and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, we can use the formula:
°F = (°C x 1.8) + 32
Plugging in the given temperature:
°F = (7.3 x 1.8) + 32
°F = 13.14 + 32
°F = 45.2
Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get:
°F ≈ 45.2
Therefore, the temperature in Fahrenheit is approximately 45.2°F.
To determine the weight of the cat food in pounds, we need to multiply the number of bags by the mass of each bag. First, let's calculate the total weight in kilograms:
Total weight in kilograms = Number of bags * Mass per bag
= 4 bags * 2.5 kg/bag
= 10 kg
Now, we can convert the weight from kilograms to pounds using the conversion factor:
Total weight in pounds = Total weight in kilograms * Conversion factor
= 10 kg * 2.2 lb/kg
= 22 lb
Therefore, the weight of the cat food in pounds is 22 pounds.
