Adam needs to post a parcel. The parcel weighs 12lbs 8 oz. 1lb = 16 oz 1lb = 454 g How much does the parcel weigh to the nearest whole kilogram?

First, we need to convert the weight of the parcel to a single unit. We can either convert everything to ounces or to pounds. Let's convert everything to ounces for simplicity.

The parcel weighs 12 lbs 8 oz. Since 1 lb is equal to 16 oz, 12 lbs is equal to 12 * 16 = 192 oz.

So, the total weight of the parcel in ounces is 192 oz (from the 12 lbs) + 8 oz = 200 oz.

Next, we need to convert ounces to grams. Since 1 oz is equal to 28.3495 grams, 200 oz is equal to 200 * 28.3495 = 5669.9 grams.

Finally, we need to convert grams to kilograms. Since 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams, the weight of the parcel in kilograms is 5669.9 g ÷ 1000 = 5.6699 kg.

Rounding to the nearest whole kilogram, the parcel weighs approximately 6 kg.
