IF you can please help me and show me step by step how to work it out. thank you

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You were expected to assume the same density as if water, and you have the given volume of 2 liters, and you have the known density 1 kilogram/liter. So you can recognize the answer. .... BUT you want POUNDS.

1 kilogram =1000 grams
1 pound = 453.59 grams, approximately and very near

Can you setup the conversion using that?
