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

Question

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.
