Tyler has a baseball bat that weighs 28 ounces. Find this weight in kilograms and in grams. Explain or show your reasoning. (Note: 1 kilogram 35 ounces)

Weight in Kilograms = 0.8 Kilograms

Weight in grams = 800 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyler has a baseball bat that weighs 28 ounces.

a) Weight in Kilograms

From the question:

1 kilogram = 35 ounces

Hence:

35 ounces = 1 kilogram

28 ounces = x kilogram

Cross Multiply

35 × x = 28 × 1

x = 28/35

x = 0.8 kilograms

b) Weight in grams

1 kilogram = 1000 grams

0.8 kilogram = x

Cross Multiply

x = 0.8 × 1000 grams

x = 800 grams
