Let x represent the number of kilograms equal to 72 pounds.
We can set up the proportion: 1 kilogram / 2.2 pounds = x kilograms / 72 pounds
Cross multiplying, we get: 2.2 * x = 1 * 72
Simplifying, we have: 2.2x = 72
Dividing both sides by 2.2, we find: x = 32.7
Therefore, 72 pounds is equal to approximately 32.7 kilograms.
