Answer 1

To determine how many kilograms are equal to 185 pounds, you can use the following proportion derived from the conversion factor:

1 kg ≈ 2.2 lbs

To find how many kilograms (let's denote it as \( x \)) are equal to 185 pounds, you can set up the proportion:

\[
\frac{x \text{ kg}}{185 \text{ lbs}} = \frac{1 \text{ kg}}{2.2 \text{ lbs}}
\]

To solve for \( x \), you can rearrange the equation:

\[
x = \frac{185 \text{ lbs}}{2.2 \text{ lbs/kg}}
\]

Now, let's perform the calculation:

\[
x ≈ \frac{185}{2.2} ≈ 84.09
\]

Rounding to the nearest whole number gives you:

\[
x ≈ 84 \text{ kg}
\]

So, the response is:

**84 kg**.
