Question

If one kilogram equals 2.2 pounds how many kilograms equal 112 pounds

Answer 1

About 50.8 kilograms is equal to 112 pounds.

Answer 2

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that there is a constant rate of change, we can use the equation:

$y=kx$

k is the constant rate of change. Set up an equation in which the pounds are determined by the rate of change between kilograms and pounds:

$1=k(2.2)$

Isolate the variable k:

$\frac{1}{2.2}=\frac{k(2.2)}{2.2}\\\\\frac{1}{2.2}=k$

Set up another equation like so:

$\frac{y}{x}=\frac{y}{x}$

Insert values:

$\frac{1}{2.2}=\frac{y}{112}$

Solve for y. Cross multiply:

$1(112)=2.2y\\\\112=2.2y$

Isolate the variable. Divide both sides by 2.2:

$\frac{112}{2.2}=\frac{2.2y}{2.2} \\\\ y=50.9090...$

So, there are about 50.9 kilograms in 112 pounds.
