A box of books weighs 26lb. Convert the weight to kilograms. Round to the nearest tenth.

26 lb is 11.8 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pound (lb) is a unit of mass used in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement.

A kilogram (kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI).

To convert 26 lb to kg.

First, use the conversion factor between pounds and kilograms.

1 kg = 2.2046 lb

Next, write the following equation to find the weight in kg:

weight in kg = weight in lb x (1 kg / 2.2046 lb)

The pounds cancel out, leaving kilograms.

weight in kg = 26 lb x (1 kg / 2.2046 lb)

weight in kg = 11.7935 kg

Rounding to the nearest tenth.

weight in kg = 11.8 kg
