Use a proportion, determine how many kilograms are equal to 185 pounds. Round to the nearest whole number. 1 kg = 2.2 lbs
A. 62 kg
B. 75 kg
C. 84 kg
D. 92 kg
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion:
1 kg / 2.2 lbs = x kg / 185 lbs
Cross-multiplying, we get:
2.2x = 185
Dividing both sides by 2.2, we get:
x = 185 / 2.2 ≈ 84
Rounded to the nearest whole number, 84 kg is equal to 185 pounds.
Answer: C. 84 kg
