Question

If one kilogram equals 2.2 pounds, how many kilograms equal 112 pounds? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.
24.64 kilograms
50.91 kilograms
109.8 kilograms
246.4 kilogram

Answer 1

To convert pounds to kilograms, you can use the given conversion factor: 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds.

To find how many kilograms equal 112 pounds, you can set up the equation:

\[
\text{kilograms} = \frac{\text{pounds}}{2.2}
\]

Substituting 112 pounds into the equation:

\[
\text{kilograms} = \frac{112}{2.2}
\]

Now calculate that:

\[
\text{kilograms} = 50.90909090909091
\]

Rounding to the nearest hundredth gives:

\[
\text{kilograms} \approx 50.91
\]

Thus, the answer is **50.91 kilograms**.
