Your newborn weighs 9 pounds 6 ounces. Convert this weight to grams. Do not round.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["4252.5"]

First, we need to convert 9 pounds to ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so:

9 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 144 ounces

Now, add the 6 ounces:

144 ounces + 6 ounces = 150 ounces

Next, we need to convert ounces to grams. There are approximately 28.35 grams in one ounce. So:

150 ounces * 28.35 grams/ounce ≈ 4252.5 grams

Therefore, the newborn weighs approximately 4252.5 grams.
