Explanation / Answer

1]

1 KM = 0.621 mile

0.725 KM = 0.45 mile

1 mile = 5280 feet

0.45 mile = 2377.188 feet

2]

1 ounce = 28.35 gms

0.725 gms = 1*0.725 / 28.35 = 0.0255 ounces

1 ounce = 437.5 grains

0.0255 ounces = 11.188 grains

3]

1 kg = 2.205 pounds

7.2*10^7 Kg = 158760000 pounds

1 ton = 2000 pounds

158760000 pounds = 79380 tons
