Answer 1

To determine how many kilograms are equal to 185 pounds, we can use the conversion rate that 1 kilogram is approximately 2.2 pounds.

To find the equivalent weight in kilograms, we can set up a proportion:

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

Using this proportion for the given value of 185 pounds:

\[ \text{kg} = \frac{185}{2.2} \]

Calculating this:

\[ \text{kg} = 84.09 \]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we find that:

\[ \text{kg} \approx 84 \]

So, the answer is 84 kg.

• The proportion to use is: \( \text{kg} = \frac{\text{pounds}}{2.2} \)
