Answer:
<em>The weight of the parcel is approximately 6 kilograms.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The weight of the parcel is 12 lbs and 8 oz.
1 lb = 16 oz
So, 8 oz = 
lb.
<u>That means, 12 lbs and 8 oz</u> = (12 + 0.5) lbs = 12.5 lbs
Now, 1 lb = 454 g
So, 12.5 lbs = (12.5 × 454) g = 5675 g
As, 1 kilogram = 1000 g
That means, 1 g = 0.001 kilogram
So, 5675 g 
kilograms. <em>(Rounded to the nearest whole kilogram)</em>
Thus, the weight of the parcel is approximately 6 kilograms.
the simple fact that 94 is 49 backwards means nothing, anymore than say 001 and 100 are equal quantities or related other than in the digits.
so, 0.49 or 49/100 and 0.94 or 94/100, are two values, both are at the one hundredth level, so to see who is larger, we can nevermind the 100 and look at the numerator, 94 is clearly much larger than 49.
Unfortunately, Katie will be $20 short
She has $40
Plus the $38 x 5 she will be earning which is $190
$190+$40 is $230
Looks like Kate needs one more day of hard work to get her bike ; )
