Weight Class worksheet

1. Division: Lightweight

1. Find the lightest division whose limit is at or above the weight: 150 lb is over the 145 lb featherweight limit but not over 155 lb

   $\text{150 lb ≤ 155 lb: Lightweight}$

2. Subtract the weight from the limit to see how much room is left

   $155\text{\hspace{0.17em}lb}-150\text{\hspace{0.17em}lb}$$=5\text{\hspace{0.17em}lb}$

3. To make featherweight, the next division down, the weight must come down to 145 lb

   $150\text{\hspace{0.17em}lb}-145\text{\hspace{0.17em}lb}$$=5\text{\hspace{0.17em}lb}$

4. Show the limit in kilograms too (1 lb = 0.45359237 kg)
