Answer

Step 3: Do the multiplication and division: \(5000 * \frac{1}{453.592}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: Set up the conversion so that the desired unit will be cancelled out. In this case, we want 'g' to cancel out, so we place it in the denominator of our conversion factor: \(5000\, g * \frac{1\, lb}{453.592\, g}\)

Step 2 :Step 2: Cancel out the 'g' units. The 'g' units in the top and bottom of the fraction cancel out, leaving us with only 'lb': \(5000 * \frac{1\, lb}{453.592}\)

Step 3 :Step 3: Do the multiplication and division: \(5000 * \frac{1}{453.592}\)
