Question

a remote village on an island was devastated by a typhoon. farmland was flooded and the crops were killed by excess salt from the ocean. to prevent starvation, aid workers delivered containers of dried foods such as rice, beans, and raisins to the island. each container holds 82 kilograms (kg) of food: 36 kg of rice, 28 kg of beans, and 18 kg of raisins. calorie counts for 100 grams (g) of dried foods are shown.

food	rice	beans	raisins
calories	356	352	300

aid workers that have been sent to the island are trying to develop a plan to transport the food containers to the village. the aid workers are unfamiliar with the metric system and need to determine the weight of each container in pounds (lb).
how much does each container of food weigh in pounds?
round your answer to the nearest tenth. enter the answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert kilograms to pounds

We know that 1 kg = 2.20462 lb. Each container holds 82 kg of food.
$82\times2.20462$

Step2: Calculate the result

$82\times2.20462 = 180.77884$

Step3: Round to the nearest tenth

Rounding 180.77884 to the nearest tenth gives 180.8.

Answer:

180.8 lb
