Respuesta :

We know that

• The baby weighed 8.5 kg and was 60.5 cm long.

We have to transform 8.5 kg into pounds. We know that 1 kg is equivalent to 2.2 pounds. So, we just have to multiply.

[tex]8.5\operatorname{kg}\cdot\frac{2.2lb}{1\operatorname{kg}}=18.7lb[/tex]

Therefore, the baby weighed 18.7 pounds.

Then, we transform 60.5 cm into inches. We know that 1 inch is equivalent to 2.54 cm. So,

[tex]60.5\operatorname{cm}\cdot\frac{1in}{2.54\operatorname{cm}}=23.82in[/tex]

Therefore, the baby was 23.82 inches long.
