Michael purchased 5 1/5 kilograms of sugar and then decided to purchase another 3 1/2 ​ kilograms of the sugar. How many pounds did Michael purchase altogether? Assume 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds.

Respuesta :

To solve:
Add the amounts of sugar together:
[tex] \frac{21}{5} +\frac{7}{2}=\frac{42}{10}+\frac{35}{10}=\frac{77}{10}= 7.7[/tex]

Then multiply by 2.2 to convert to kg:
7.7•2.2=
16.94

Answer: 16.94 pounds
