1 answer

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, you can use the formula:

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

Substituting 125 pounds into the equation:

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

Now, rounding this to the nearest tenth gives you:

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

Therefore, there are approximately 56.8 kilograms in 125 pounds.
