Answer:

No, I don't think so.

Step-by-step explanation:

If his suitcase weighs 23 kg and 10 kg is 22 pounds. You could seperate it. 10, 10, and 3 meaning 22+22= 44. This would mean that 1 kg would equal about 2.2 a pound. So 44 + ( 2.2 x 3 ) = 50.6 kg.

It would be 0.6 k.g over. I think this is right unless I calculated this wrong.
