Answer 1

To convert kilograms to pounds using the given proportion:

1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds

We can set up the following equation:

x kilograms = 72 pounds

To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2.2:

x = 72 pounds / 2.2 pounds/kilogram

Simplifying, we find:

x = 32.72727272727273 kilograms

Rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilogram, the answer is:

32.7 kilograms

Therefore, the correct answer is 32.7.
