A 6.0 ft person weighs 168 lbs. express this person's height in meters and weight in kilograms given 1 lb= 453.6 g and 1 m= 3.28 ft
---------------
6 ft * (1 m/3.28 ft) = 6/3.28 meters =~ 1.982 meters
-------------------
168 lbs * 453.6 gm/lb * 1 kg/1000 gm = 168*453.6/1000 kg = 76.2048 kg
====================
Notice how the units cancel if you get the conversions right.
