Answer 1

To find the weight difference in kilograms, we need to convert their weights from pounds to kilograms.

Donnie weighs 188 pounds. To convert this to kilograms, we divide by the conversion factor of 2.2:

188 pounds / 2.2 pounds per kilogram = 85.45 kilograms

Ronnie weighs 165 pounds. To convert this to kilograms, we divide by the conversion factor of 2.2:

165 pounds / 2.2 pounds per kilogram = 75 kilograms

Thus, the weight difference in kilograms is:

85.45 kilograms - 75 kilograms = 10.45 kilograms.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the weight difference in kilograms is approximately 10.45 kilograms.
