Question

Tyler has a baseball bat that weighs 28 ounces. Find this weight in kilograms and in grams. (Note 1 kilogram=35 ounces)

Answer 1

Answer:0.8 kilograms

800 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of Tyler's baseball bat is 28 ounces. We would convert the weight in ounces to kilogram and grams.

Let x represent the number of kilograms that is equal to 28 ounces. Therefore

1 kilogram = 35 ounces

x kilogram = 28 ounces

Cross multiplying, it becomes

35 × x = 28 × 1

35x = 28

x = 28/35 = 0.8 kilograms

We would convert 0.8 kilograms to grams

Let y represent the number of grams that is equal to 0.8 kilograms. Therefore,

1000 grams = 1 kilogram

y grams = 0.8 kilograms

Cross multiplying,

y × 1 = 0.8 × 1000

y = 800 grams
