    Calculation

    A nurse is caring for a newborn who weighs 6 lb. The nurse should record the newborn's weight as how many g? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    g

    Explanation & Rationale

    Let's convert pounds to grams. We know that 1 pound= 453.592 grams. Convert 6 pounds to grams, we multiply: 6 pounds x 453.592 grams/pound = 2721.552 grams Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives 2722 grams.
