Answer:
160 lbs = 72.57kg
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved as a rule of three problem.
In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.
When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too.
When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease.
Unit conversion problems, like this one, is an example of a direct relationship between measures.
Each lb has 0.45kg. How many kg are there in 160lbs. So:
1lb - 0.45kg
160 lbs - xkg
kg
160 lbs = 72.57kg

For question 3, the equation could have also been 3x°= 90°. However, I used ∠ sum of △ since I didnt want to assume that ∠ABC is a right angle.
Likewise for Q4, the polygon looks like a trapezium which means that the 2 horizontal lines are parallel and one could conclude that (3x +3)° +(2x +2)°= 180° (int. ∠s). But since it wasn't clearly indicated that they are parallel, I used the sum of interior angles to find x instead.
