Solution Steps

To convert 17 kilograms to ounces using the given conversion factor, we need to follow these steps:

1. Convert kilograms to grams.
2. Convert grams to ounces using the given conversion factor.
3. Round the result to 3 decimal places.

To convert 17 kilograms to grams, we use the conversion factor \(1 \text{ kg} = 1000 \text{ g}\): \[ 17 \text{ kg} \times 1000 \frac{\text{g}}{\text{kg}} = 17000 \text{ g} \]

Next, we convert grams to ounces using the given conversion factor \(1 \text{ ounce} = 28.3 \text{ g}\): \[ 17000 \text{ g} \div 28.3 \frac{\text{g}}{\text{ounce}} \approx 600.7067 \text{ ounces} \]

Finally, we round the result to 3 decimal places: \[ 600.7067 \approx 600.707 \]
