• Problem:
1 kg is equivalent to approximately 2.2 pounds. What is the total weight in pounds of two pieces of luggage which weigh 14.8 kg and 18.9 kg, respectively?
• Solution:
Since you're tasked to find the total weight, you can just add first the given weights and then convert the answer from kilograms to pounds.
Thus, here's the solution.
[tex]\large \boxed{ \begin{array}{} \tt14.8 \: kg + 18.9 \: kg \\ \tt33.7 \: kg\end{array}}[/tex]
Then, to convert, multiply 33.7 by 2.2 pounds.
[tex]\large \boxed{ \begin{array}{} \tt33.7 \times 2.2 \\ \tt 74.14 \: pounds\end{array}}[/tex]
• Answer:
The total weight of two pieces of luggage is 74.14 pounds.
