You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need the conversion:
\n" ); document.write( "1 pound = ? kgs
\n" ); document.write( "My research ( google ) shows:
\n" ); document.write( "1 pound = 0.454 kg
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "From that, I get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+132%2A.454+=+59.928+\" kg
\n" ); document.write( "is your weight
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "I can set up the ratio:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+400+%2F+x+=+1+%2F+59.928+\"
\n" ); document.write( "where the left side is mg and the right side is kg
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+59.928x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+400%2A59.928+=+x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+23971.2+\" mg should be given
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "[ mg ] x [ g / 1000 mg ] = [ g ]
\n" ); document.write( "\"+23971.2%2F1000+=+23.9712+\" g
\n" ); document.write( "is the equivalent in grams
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Hope I got it -you might want
\n" ); document.write( "a 2nd opinion too\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
