Answer:
Yes, the weight lifter is light enough to participate in this competition.
Explanation:
We have to convert lb to kg to solve this problem.
Pound (lb) is unit of mass in F.P.S system. kg is unit of mass in M.K.S system.
According to conversion system, 1 lb = 0.454 kg
So, [tex]197 lb = (197\times 0.454)kg=89.4 kg[/tex]
89.4 kg is less than 90 kg.
As the competition is limited to 90 kg or less therefore the wight lifter is light enough to participate in this weight lifting competition.
