Lance has spent all morning fishing and trying to catch a fish that can break that record. He caught three large striped bass that he thinks might beat it. However, Lance's scale is set to kilograms so he must find out how much each fish weighs in pounds in order to find out if he has broken the record. The weights of the fish are as follows:

  • Fish 1:1: 22 kg22 \text{ kg}
  • Fish 2:2: 20 kg20\text{ kg}
  • Fish 3:3: 25 kg25 \text{ kg}
