A large recipe calls for 3.18 kg of sugar. Your bags of sugar are measured in pounds (lb). Remembering that 1 kg = 2.20462 lb, how many 1.50 lb bags of sugar will you need to buy to make your recipe? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Added by Danny M.

A baker wants to measure out 2.45 cups of sugar for a recipe but has no reliable volume measurement tools. Assuming that the density of sugar is 1.59 g/mL, how many pounds of sugar should the baker measure out to approximate 2.45 cups of sugar? (1 cup = 237 mL, 454 g = 1 lb)

A bag of sugar weighs 5.00 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration is one-sixth that on Earth? Repeat for Jupiter, where g is 2.64 times that on Earth. Find the mass of the bag of sugar in kilograms at each of the three locations.
