Question

1. the weights of four defensive linemen on a football team are: 145,000g, 156kg, 1380hg, and 138,000,000mg. a kilogram is 2.2 pounds. determine the total weight of the defensive line in pounds.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert all weights to kg

• $145,000\ \text{g} = \frac{145000}{1000} = 145\ \text{kg}$
• $156\ \text{kg}$ (already in kg)
• $1380\ \text{hg} = \frac{1380}{10} = 138\ \text{kg}$
• $138,000,000\ \text{mg} = \frac{138000000}{1000000} = 138\ \text{kg}$

Step2: Sum all weights in kg

$\text{Total weight (kg)} = 145 + 156 + 138 + 138 = 577\ \text{kg}$

Step3: Convert kg to pounds

$\text{Total weight (lbs)} = 577 \times 2.2$

Answer:

1269.4 pounds
