Answer 1

Answer:

7.7 pounds = 3.5 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Weight of a gallon of liquid = 7.7 pounds

We need to find weight in kilograms.

We must know the relation between pounds and kilograms and it is as follows :

1 kilogram = 2.20 pounds

or

1 pounds = (1/2.2) kilograms

7.7 pounds = (7.7/2.2) kilograms

= 3.5 kilograms

Hence, 7.7 pounds is equal to 3.5 kilograms.
