Answer 1

We conclude that the closest measure to 73 hectograms is 16.09 pounds,

Which of the following are approximately equal to 73 hectograms?

First, notice that:

1 hectogram = 100 grams.

Now let's write all of the given measures in grams, and let's see which one is approximately equal to 73 hg.

Remember that:

1 ounce = 28.3 grams.

1 pound  = 453.6 grams.

Then the given measures are:

• 257.5 oz = (257.5)*28.3 grams = 7,287.25 grams.
• 0.73 lb = 0.73*(453.6 grams) = 331.128 grams.
• 16.09 oz = (16.09)*28.3 grams = 455.347 grams.
• 16.09 lb = (16.09)*453.6 grams = 7,298.4 grams

The one that is closest to 73 hectograms is the last measure, that when written in hectograms are:

7,298.4 grams = (7,298.4/100) hectograms = 7.298 hectograms.
