Respuesta :

We are given

weight of watermelon =4.5kg

In pounds:

we know that

1kg=2.2lb

so, we have

[tex]w=4.5kg[/tex]

we can also write as

[tex]w=4.5\times 1kg[/tex]

now, we can replace 1kg

and we get

[tex]w=4.5\times 2.2lb[/tex]

[tex]w=9.9lb[/tex]

In ounces:

We have got

[tex]w=9.9lb[/tex]

we know that

1 lb=16 oz

so, we can also write as

[tex]w=9.9\times 1lb[/tex]

we can replace 1lb

and we get

[tex]w=9.9\times 16 oz[/tex]

[tex]w=158.4 oz[/tex].............Answer
