Question #2d0f1

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

You are correct, first you must convert kilograms to pounds.

The conversion factor for kilograms to pounds is:

`1"kg" = 2.20462"lbs"`

To find how many pounds in `1.20"kg"` we must multiply each side of the equation by `color(red)(1.20)` giving:

`color(red)(1.20) xx 1"kg" = color(red)(1.20) xx 2.20462"lbs"`

`1.20"kg" = 2.645544"lbs"`

To find the cost of these carrots we must multiply the number of pounds by the cost per pound giving:

`2.645544"lbs" xx ($0.79)/"lb" =>`

`2.645544color(red)(cancel(color(black)("lbs"))) xx ($0.79)/color(red)(cancel(color(black)("lbs"))) =>`

`2.645544 xx $0.79 =>`

`$2.08997976 =>`

`$2.09` rounded to the nearest cent.
