The correct answer is 32.7
To convert kilograms to pounds using the proportion 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds, divide the number of pounds by 2.2.
In this case, we want to find how many kilograms are equal to 72 pounds:
72 pounds / 2.2 = 32.7272727...
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilogram, 32.7 kilograms are equal to 72 pounds.
So the answer is 32.7.
To convert kilograms to pounds using the proportion 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds, you can set up a proportion as follows:
1 kilogram / 2.2 pounds = x kilograms / 72 pounds
To solve for x, you can cross multiply:
1 * 72 = 2.2 * x
72 = 2.2x
Divide both sides of the equation by 2.2 to isolate x:
72 / 2.2 = x
x ≈ 32.7273
Therefore, 72 pounds is approximately equal to 32.7 kilograms (rounded to the nearest tenth).
