Answer:
B.) 50.91 kilograms
Step-by-step explanation:
Write an equation that looks like this:
[tex]\frac{kilogram}{pound}= \frac{kilogram}{pound}[/tex]
Insert the information in the appropriate section, with 1 kilogram and 2.2 pounds on the same side:
[tex]\frac{1}{2.2}=\frac{x}{112}[/tex]
Solve for x, which is the number of kilograms for 112 pounds if there is 1 kilogram per 2.2 pounds.
Solve for x. Cross multiply:
[tex]1(112)=2.2(x)\\\\112=2.2x[/tex]
Isolate the variable. Divide both sides by 2.2:
[tex]\frac{112}{2.2}=\frac{2.2x}{2.2}\\\\x= 50.909090...[/tex]
Round to the nearest hundredth (two decimal places to the right):
50.909 → 50.91
If 1 kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds, then 50.91 kilograms is equal to 112 pounds.
