I am not sure if the y after 15/8 was a typo but I am going to assume it is. 15/8 is the same as 1.875.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{15}{8}pounds[/tex] are [tex]0.85 kg[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to transform from pounds to kilograms. To do that, we need a ration between both units, which is given [tex]50Ib = 22.68 kg[/tex], then we just use the rule of three to transform, if [tex]50Ib = 22.68 kg[/tex], how muck kilograms is [tex]\frac{15}{8}pounds[/tex]:

[tex]x=\frac{15}{8}lb\frac{22.68kg}{50lb}=0.85kg[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]\frac{15}{8}pounds[/tex] are [tex]0.85 kg[/tex].
