Using a proportion, determine how many kilograms are equal to 185 pounds. Round to the nearest whole number. 1 kg ≈ 2.2 lbs(1 point)Responses
To determine how many kilograms are equal to 185 pounds, we can set up the proportion:
1 kg / 2.2 lbs = x kg / 185 lbs
Cross-multiplying, we get:
185 lbs * 1 kg = 2.2 lbs * x kg
185 kg = 2.2 x
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 2.2:
185 kg / 2.2 = x
Simplifying, we find:
x ≈ 84.09 kg
Rounded to the nearest whole number, 84 kilograms are equal to 185 pounds.
