The weight of Christensen's family's kitten is 9 pounds 3 ounces.
The imperial unit of mass or weight measurement is the pound. The symbols for pounds are lb and lbm. A kilogram weighs 0.4535 pounds. The term "pound" has Germanic roots.
In the conventional system of measurement, a pound is a unit of weight. 16 ounces make up one pound.
Therefore,
We know that 1 pound = 16 ounces
16 ounces = 1 pound
Dividing each side by 16.
( 16 / 16) ounces = ( 1/16 ) pound
1 ounce = ( 1/16 ) pound
Multiplying each side by 147,
1 ounce × 147 = ( 1/16 ) × 147 pound
147 ounces = ( 147 / 16 ) pounds
147 ounces = 9.1875 pounds
147 ounces = 9 + 0.1875 pounds
147 ounces = 9 pounds 3 ounces
