To find the difference in their weights in kilograms, we need to convert their weights from pounds to kilograms.
Donnie weighs 188 pounds, so we can convert this to kilograms by dividing by 2.2:
188 pounds / 2.2 pounds per kilogram = 85.45 kilograms
Similarly, Ronnie weighs 165 pounds, so we can convert this to kilograms:
165 pounds / 2.2 pounds per kilogram = 75 kilograms
Now we can find the difference in their weights:
Difference = Donnie's weight - Ronnie's weight
Difference = 85.45 kilograms - 75 kilograms
Difference = 10.45 kilograms
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the difference in their weights in kilograms is 10.45 kilograms.
