To convert pounds to kilograms, you can use the conversion factor that 1 kilogram is approximately 2.2 pounds. To find out how many kilograms are in 125 pounds, use the following calculation:

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

Substituting 125 pounds into the equation:

\[ \text{kilograms} = \frac{125}{2.2} \approx 56.8181 \]

Rounding this to the nearest tenth:

\[ \text{kilograms} \approx 56.8 \]

Thus, there are approximately 56.8 kilograms in 125 pounds.
