Adam has been asked to post a parcel for a family member. he has been told that the parcel weighs 12 lbs 8 oz. 1lb = 16 oz 1lb = 454 g how much does the parcel weigh to the nearest whole kilogram?

We are given the parcel weighs in lbs and oz = 12 lbs 8 oz.

We need to convert 12 lbs 8 oz into Kilograms.

Also given  1lb = 16 oz and 1 lb = 454 g.

16oz = 1lb.

Therefore, 1 oz = 1/16 lb

8 oz = 8 × 1/16  = 1/2 lb.

12 lbs 8 oz = 12 lbs + 1/2lb

1 lb = 454 grams

12 lbs = 12  × 454 = 5448 grams.

1/2lb = 1/2 × 454 = 227 grams.

Therefore,

12 lbs 8 oz = 12 lbs + 1/2lb  = 5448 grams + 227 grams = 5675 grams.

Let us convert it into Kilograms now.

1000 grams = 1 kilogram

5675 grams = 5675 /1000 = 5.675 Kilograms.

We need to round it to the nearest whole kilogram.

The parcel weighs 1 kilogram.
