Answer:

<em>The weight of the parcel is approximately 6 kilograms.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the parcel is  12 lbs and 8 oz.

1 lb = 16 oz

So,  8 oz = \frac{1}{2}lb = 0.5 lb.

<u>That means,  12 lbs and 8 oz</u> = (12 + 0.5) lbs = 12.5 lbs

Now, 1 lb = 454 g

So,  12.5 lbs = (12.5 × 454) g = 5675 g

As,  1 kilogram = 1000 g

That means, 1 g = 0.001 kilogram

So,  5675 g = (5675 \times0.001) kilograms= 5.675 \approx 6 kilograms. <em>(Rounded to the nearest whole kilogram)</em>

Thus, the weight of the parcel is approximately 6 kilograms.
