Adam has been asked to post a parcel for a family member. he has been told that the parcel weighs 12lbs 8oz. how much does the parcel weigh to the nearest whole kilogram

Answer is 6 kg:

Given that Adam was asked to post a parcel.  The weight of the parcel was 12 lbs and 8 oz.

To convert the weight in kgs:

Let us convert oz into pounds first to make it uniform.

We have 16 0z. = 1 lb

Hence 8 oz. = 8/16 = 0.5 lbs

Weight of the parcel = 12.5 lbs.

We have the converting factor as

2.2 pounds make 1 kg.

Hence 12.5 pounds = 12.5/2.2 = 5.6818

So weight of the parcel in kg= 6. (after rounding off)

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
