\n" ); document.write( "1 DISABLED_event_Onion= 145 g
\n" ); document.write( "4.20 lb
\n" ); document.write( "1 lb = 453.6 g conversion factor\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so convert 4.20 lb into grams
\n" ); document.write( "then grams into onions\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4.20 lb * (453.6 g /1 lb) * (1 onion/145 g)=\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1905.12/145 =
\n" ); document.write( "13.1388 ~ 13.1 three significant digits
\n" ); document.write( "
