Answer:
B. 195.5 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Weight in pounds = 430 pounds
1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds
Required
The weight in kilogram
Let x represents the weight of the humpback's whale's heart in kilogram
Such that;
[tex]x = 430 lb[/tex]
[tex]1kg = 2.2lb[/tex]
By Cross multiplication
[tex]x * 2.2lb = 430lb * 1kg[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2.2lb
[tex]\frac{x * 2.2lb}{2.2lb} = \frac{430lb * 1kg}{2.2lb}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{430lb * 1kg}{2.2lb}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{430lb1kg}{2.2lb}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{4301kg}{2.2}[/tex]
[tex]x = 195.454545 kg[/tex]
Approximate
[tex]x = 195.5kg[/tex]
Hence, the weight of the heart is 195.5kg
