To convert pounds to kilograms using the relationship 1 kg ≈ 2.2 lbs, you can set up a proportion:
1 kg / 2.2 lbs = x kg / 185 lbs
Cross-multiplying, you get:
185 lbs * 1 kg = 2.2 lbs * x kg
185 kg = 2.2x kg
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 2.2:
185 kg / 2.2 = x kg
x ≈ 84 kg
So, 185 pounds is approximately equal to 84 kilograms.
