The largest single rough diamond ever found, the Cullinan Diamond, weighed 3106 carats. One carat is equivalent to the mass of 0.20 grams. What is the weight in pounds?

Respuesta :

We have

3106 carats

1 carat = 0.20 grams

First, we need to convert to grams

x= the number of grams of 3106 carats

[tex]x=\frac{3106\cdot0.20}{1}=621.2\text{ grams}[/tex]

1 pound = 453.60 grams

y= the number of pounds of 621.2 grams

[tex]y=\frac{621.2\cdot1}{453.60}=1.369=1.37\text{ pounds}[/tex]
