Write and solve a proportion to complete the statement. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

90 lb ≈ kg
I am having trouble even understanding how to do this?

Even after the explaining, I am still confused. How do you find x?

1 kg = 2.20462 pounds

1/2.20462 = x/90

Cross multiply and solve for x.

To solve this proportion, we need to convert pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg). The conversion factor is approximately 2.20462 pounds in 1 kilogram.

Let's set up the proportion using the formula:

pounds / conversion factor = kilograms

In this case, we have 90 pounds and we want to find the equivalent value in kilograms. So the proportion will be:

90 lb / 2.20462 lb ≈ kg

To solve for kg, we cancel out the lb units by dividing:

90 / 2.20462 ≈ kg

Using a calculator, we find:

kg ≈ 40.82

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the approximate value is 40.82 kg.

just do 90 divided by 2.20462 to get the answer
