Tom got on a scale while on a vacation in France and noticed he weighed 75 kg. He read in a guidebook that 1 lb. = 0.45 kg. How much does Tom weigh in pounds​

Respuesta :

Answer:

166.67 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is Tom's weight in pounds:

[tex]\frac{75}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.45}{1}[/tex]

Cross multiply and solve for x:

75 = 0.45x

166.67 = x

So, Tom weighs approximately 166.67 pounds
