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.
