You need to make mashed potatoes, so you buy a 19 pound bag of russet potatoes from the grocery store. to the nearest tenth of a kilogram, how many kilograms of potatoes are in the bag? take a kilogram to be equivalent to 2.21 pounds.

8.6 kg

Explanation:

According to the question,

1 Kg = 2.21 pound

2.21 pound = 1 kg

1 pound = 1 / 2.21 kg

19 pound = 19 / 2.21 kg = 8.59 kg

By rounding to nearest tenth, it is equal to 8.6 kg.

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
