Question

complete the following conversions. question 3 (2 points) retake question using the pharmacy common conversion chart, 156 lb = ______ kg (2 pts) 1.56 70.76 343.2 70.9

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

The common conversion factor between pounds (lb) and kilograms (kg) in pharmacy is that \( 1\ \text{kg} \approx 2.20462\ \text{lb} \), or approximately \( 1\ \text{lb} \approx \frac{1}{2.2}\ \text{kg} \) (a commonly used approximation for simplicity in pharmacy contexts).

Step2: Apply the conversion formula

To convert pounds to kilograms, we use the formula \( \text{kg} = \frac{\text{lb}}{2.2} \). Given \( \text{lb} = 156 \), we substitute into the formula:
\[
\text{kg} = \frac{156}{2.2} \approx 70.9
\]

Answer:

70.9
