Answer:

The weight of the parcel is approximately 6 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the parcel is  12 lbs and 8 oz.

1 lb = 16 oz

So,  8 oz =  lb.

That means,  12 lbs and 8 oz = (12 + 0.5) lbs = 12.5 lbs

Now, 1 lb = 454 g

So,  12.5 lbs = (12.5 × 454) g = 5675 g

As,  1 kilogram = 1000 g

That means, 1 g = 0.001 kilogram

So,  5675 g  kilograms. (Rounded to the nearest whole kilogram)

Thus, the weight of the parcel is approximately 6 kilograms.
