Question

convert the measurement to the units specified.
6 pounds to kilograms
6 pounds = \\(\square\\) kg
(round to two decimal places as needed.)

1 in. = 2.540 cm \t1 cm = 0.3937 in
1 ft = 0.3048 m \t1 m = 3.28 ft
1 yd = 0.9144 m \t1 m = 1.094 yd
1 mi = 1.6093 km \t1 km = 0.6214 mi
1 lb = 0.4536 kg \t1 kg = 2.205 lb

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the conversion factor

We know that \(1\) pound (\(lb\)) is equal to \(0.45356\) kilograms (\(kg\)). So the conversion factor from pounds to kilograms is \(0.45356\) kg/lb.

Step2: Multiply the number of pounds by the conversion factor

We need to convert \(6\) pounds to kilograms. So we multiply \(6\) by \(0.45356\).
\[6\times0.45356 = 2.72136\]

Step3: Round to two decimal places

Rounding \(2.72136\) to two decimal places, we look at the third decimal place which is \(1\). Since \(1<5\), we round down. So we get \(2.72\).

Answer:

\(2.72\)
