Multiple Choice

DO NOW: Predict which is heavier 1 kilogram or 1 pound?

1

1 POUND

2

1 KILOGRAM

5

We had to think about the ratio of Kilograms to Pounds

  • For every 1 kilogram there is 2.2 pounds

  • 1:2.2 is the ratio

  • Using a double number line, ratio table, or thinking about "for each, per" we can find the pounds in any change in kilograms through MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION

6

FOR EXAMPLE:

2 KILOGRAMS HAS 4.4 POUNDS


BECAUSE


1:2.2 IS THE RATIO FOR 1 KILOGRAM. FINDING FOR 2 KILOGRAMS



TO GET TO 2:4.4 WE MULTIPLY BOTH SIDES OF 1:2.2 BY 2


PSSST. THERE IS A COOKIE POINT HERE!

17.6 pounds because we have to multiply 8 on both sides to get 8 kilograms and 17.6 pounds

2.2 pounds because we multiply 1 kilogram by 8

Multiple Choice

There is 1 kilogram for 2.2 pounds. If Ms. Kuqi weight 165 pounds on earth how many kilograms is that?

1

75 kilograms

2

50 kilograms

11

75 kilograms!

1) We can figure out how many kilograms for 1 pound by dividing by 2.2 on both sides.


2) We get 0.45 kilograms in 1 pound.


3) Then we can multiply by 165 to figure out that there are 75 kilograms in 165 pounds.
