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)
62 kg
75 kg
84 kg
92 kg
To convert pounds to kilograms, we can use the proportion 1 kg ≈ 2.2 lbs. We can set up the proportion as:
1 kg / 2.2 lbs = x kg / 185 lbs
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
2.2 lbs * x kg = 1 kg * 185 lbs
2.2x = 185
Divide both sides by 2.2 to solve for x:
x = 185 / 2.2
x ≈ 84
Therefore, approximately 84 kg is equal to 185 pounds. The answer is: 84 kg.
