109.8 kilograms
246.4 kilograms

Answer 1

To convert pounds to kilograms, you can use the conversion factor: 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds. To find how many kilograms equal 112 pounds, you can use the following formula:

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

Plugging in the value of 112 pounds:

\[ \text{kilograms} = \frac{112}{2.2} \approx 50.9091 \]

Now, rounding to the nearest hundredth:

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

Therefore, the answer is 50.91 kilograms.
