Questions: Step 2 Multiply by the conversion rate 2.2 lb/1 kg. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. 56 kg ≈ 56 kg × 2.2 lb/1 kg = 56 × lb = lb Therefore, a 56-kilogram person weighs lb pounds.

Step 2
Multiply by the conversion rate 2.2 lb/1 kg. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

56 kg ≈ 56 kg × 2.2 lb/1 kg
= 56 × lb
= lb

Therefore, a 56-kilogram person weighs lb pounds.

Transcript text: Step 2 Multiply by the conversion rate $\frac{2.2 \mathrm{lb}}{1 \mathrm{~kg}}$. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. \[ \begin{aligned} 56 \mathrm{~kg} & \approx 56 \mathrm{~kg} \times \frac{2.2 \mathrm{lb}}{1 \mathrm{~kg}} \\ & =56 \times \mathrm{lb} \\ & =\square \mathrm{lb} \end{aligned} \] Therefore, a 56 -kilogram person weighs $\square$ pounds.

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Multiply by the conversion rate

Multiply $56 \, \text{kg}$ by the conversion rate $\frac{2.2 \, \text{lb}}{1 \, \text{kg}}$: \[ 56 \, \text{kg} \times \frac{2.2 \, \text{lb}}{1 \, \text{kg}} = 56 \times 2.2 \, \text{lb}. \]

Step 2: Perform the multiplication

Calculate $56 \times 2.2$: \[ 56 \times 2.2 = 123.2 \, \text{lb}. \]

Step 3: Round to the nearest hundredth

The result $123.2 \, \text{lb}$ is already rounded to the nearest hundredth. Therefore, the final weight is: \[ \boxed{123.2 \, \text{lb}}. \]
