Question

If a crate contains 25,500 ounces (oz) of rice, about how many kilograms (kg) does it contain? (1 lb = 16 oz, 1 lb = 0.454 kg)

Answer 1

$\frac{25,000 oz}{1} * \frac{1LB}{16oz} * \frac{0.454 KG}{1 LB}$ = 723.5625 kg

Answer: B

Answer 2

First, you divide the given measurement by 16 to find how many pounds you have:

$\frac{25500}{16} = 1593.75$

Now, multiply that by 0.454 to get how many kilograms you have:

$1593.75*0.454=723.56$

Approximately, 724 kg, or choice B.
