Answer 1

ANSWER.

1) Calculation of mass in kg.

          Weight of a person in pounds = 220 pounds.

                  1 pound = 0.454 kg.

      So

       Weight of the patient in kg = 220 * 0.454

                                                   = 99.88

                                                   = 100 kg.

2) Calculation of number of cups in a 16 ounce drink.

           As per unit conversion

                  1 cup = 8 fluid ounces.

                  X cup = 16 fluid ounces. (Here X is number of cups).

               X * 8 = 1 * 16

                  X = 1 * 16 / 8

                  X = 16 / 8

                      = 2 cups.
