To figure out the number of onions in this recipe, we just need to take the total weight, the total weight of what the recipe calls for over the weight of the weight of one onion, and that is going to be 115 grams of one onion.
00:30
However, the total is in kilograms.
00:35
It is, or it's in pounds, my bad, it's in pounds.
00:40
So what we have to do is we need to convert one of these numbers in order to get them on the same units.
00:46
And so what we're going to do is we're going to use this unit conversion, which can be found in your textbook in section 2 .1, where there's a lot of other unit conversions that might be useful for similar problems like this.
00:57
But we're just going to use this to convert.
01:00
We're going to convert the four pounds.
01:03
It doesn't really matter which one you choose, but we're going to convert the four pounds to grams.
01:08
So we're going to say 454 grams and one pound.
01:12
And the reason why i'm setting it up like this is because we can get these pounds to cancel out here...
