Jamel watched his older brother Robert lift weights. The bar alone had a mass of 20 kg. On the bar he had tow 11.4 kg weights, two 4.5 kg weights , and four 450 g weights. What mass was Robert lifting ?
all you do is add them all together... 20 + 11.4 + 11.4 + 4.5 + 4.5 + 0.45 + 0.45 + 0.45 + 0.45 = 53.6Kg (note that 0.45 is 450g in Kg, When adding things such as weight or length you want to make sure that they are all in the same unit)
