Solution
Solution Steps
To convert pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg), we use the conversion factor where 1 pound is approximately 0.453592 kilograms. We will multiply each given weight in pounds by this conversion factor and round the result to the nearest tenth.
Step 1: Understand the Conversion Factor
To convert from pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg), we use the conversion factor \(1 \, \text{lb} = 0.4536 \, \text{kg}\).
Step 2: Apply the Conversion
For each weight in pounds, multiply by the conversion factor to get the weight in kilograms. The calculations are as follows:
For \(103.4 \, \text{lb}\):
\[
103.4 \times 0.4536 = 46.91 \, \text{kg}
\]
Rounded to the nearest tenth: \(46.9 \, \text{kg}\).
For \(21.4 \, \text{lb}\):
\[
21.4 \times 0.4536 = 9.707 \, \text{kg}
\]
Rounded to the nearest tenth: \(9.7 \, \text{kg}\).
For \(21.32 \, \text{lb}\):
\[
21.32 \times 0.4536 = 9.667 \, \text{kg}
\]
Rounded to the nearest tenth: \(9.7 \, \text{kg}\).
For \(102.5 \, \text{lb}\):
\[
102.5 \times 0.4536 = 46.51 \, \text{kg}
\]
Rounded to the nearest tenth: \(46.5 \, \text{kg}\).
