Convert 5000 grams to pounds.
Step 3: Do the multiplication and division: \(5000 * \frac{1}{453.592}\)
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: \(5000 * \frac{1}{453.592}\)
