The amount of dietary fat (in kilograms) present in the box is 0.5995 Kg

Conversion scale

1 lb = 453.6 g

With the above scale factor, we shall convert 4 lb to grams (g) as follow:

1 lb = 453.6 g

Therefore,

4 lb = 4 × 453.6

4 lb = 1814.4 g

How to determine the grams of dietary fat in 4 lb (i.e 1814.4 g) of candy

From the question given above,

22.7 g of candy = 7 g of dietary fat

Therefore,

1814.4 g of candy = (1814.4 × 7) / 22.7

1814.4 g of candy = 599.5 g

Divide by 1000 to express in Kg

1814.4 g of candy = 599.5 / 1000

1814.4 g of candy = 0.5995 Kg of dietary fat
