the total mass in kilograms y of the cinder block and brick is [tex]y=0.45x + 0.6[/tex] .
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have , A kilogram is equal to approximately 2.2 pounds. A cinder block weighs x pounds. A brick has a mass of 0.6 kilogram. We need to find What is the total mass in kilograms y of the cinder block and brick . Let's find out :
According to given data in question ,
⇒ [tex]1kg = 2.2pounds[/tex]
⇒ [tex]1(pounds) = \frac{1}{2.2}kg[/tex]
A cinder block weighs x pounds and a brick has a mass of 0.6 kilogram . Let total mass in kg of the cinder block and brick is y , i.e.
⇒ [tex]y (kg)= x (pounds) + 0.6 kg[/tex]
⇒ [tex]y (kg)= x (\frac{1}{2.2}kg) + 0.6 kg[/tex]
⇒ [tex]y=0.45x + 0.6[/tex]
Therefore , the total mass in kilograms y of the cinder block and brick is [tex]y=0.45x + 0.6[/tex] .
