Answer: 1 foot = 5/3 or 1.6666 pounds

Step-by-step explanation: to get 4 1/2 feet to one foot, you divide by 4 1/2. in this equation, 4 1/2 ft= 7 1/2 pounds. if you divide one side by 4 1/2, you also have to do the same to the other side. therefore you do 7 1/2 divided by 4 1/2 which will give you 1.6666 or 5/3.

1 foot= 5/3 pounds
