Answer:

a. 800 grams = 1.76 pounds

b. 700 grams = 1.54 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a weight conversion problem.

In this question, we shall be making conversions from grams to pounds.

Kindly note that 453.592 grams = 1 pound as stated in the question

a. 800 grams

Kindly recall;

453.592 grams = 1 pound

800 grams = x pound

Thus;

453.592 * x = 800 * 1

x = 800/453.592

x = 1.764 pounds which is 1.76 pounds to 2 decimal places

b. 700 grams

1 pound = 453.592 grams

y pound = 700 grams

y * 453.592 = 700 * 1

y = 700/453.592

y = 1.543 pounds which is 1.54 to 2 decimal places
