QUESTION 25 person weighs 77.1 kg. What is his weight in pounds? 1\/b 453.69 154 pounds 30.8 pounds 35.0 pounds 170 pounds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To convert kilograms to pounds, we use the conversion factor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Step-by-step conversion:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Given:
Weight = 77.1 kilograms<\/strong>
Conversion factor:
1\u2009kg=2.20462\u2009lb1 \\, \\text{kg} = 2.20462 \\, \\text{lb}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, multiply: 77.1\u2009kg\u00d72.20462\u2009lbkg=169.962402\u2009lb77.1 \\, \\text{kg} \\times 2.20462 \\, \\frac{\\text{lb}}{\\text{kg}} = 169.962402 \\, \\text{lb}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rounded to the nearest whole number, this gives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2248 170 pounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Explanation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To understand how to convert a person’s weight from kilograms (kg) to pounds (lb), it’s essential to know the relationship between these two units of mass. The kilogram<\/strong> is the standard unit of mass in the metric system, commonly used in most countries, while the pound<\/strong> is a unit used in the imperial system, mostly in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standard conversion factor between kilograms and pounds is: 1\u2009kg=2.20462\u2009lb1 \\, \\text{kg} = 2.20462 \\, \\text{lb}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that every kilogram is approximately equal to 2.20462 pounds. To convert a weight given in kilograms to pounds, you multiply the number of kilograms by this factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, the person’s weight is 77.1 kg<\/strong>. Multiplying this by 2.20462 gives approximately 169.96 lb<\/strong>, which can be rounded to 170 lb<\/strong> for simplicity. Rounding is common in everyday use, especially when dealing with body weight, as minor decimal differences are usually not significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s also briefly mention why conversions like this matter. In healthcare, fitness, travel, and science, knowing how to shift between metric and imperial systems is crucial. If a patient from a metric-using country reports their weight in kilograms, a U.S.-based healthcare worker needs to convert it to pounds for documentation or medication dosing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, note the incorrect answers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 154 lb is too low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 30.8 lb and 35.0 lb are drastically incorrect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 170 lb is the closest and correct answer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    \u2705 Correct Answer: 170 pounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
