Hello!

One kilogram is about 2.2 pounds. Let's convert below.

4.9(2.2)=10.78

One kilogram is about 1.5 stones, but as that is less than 2.2, it won't get us any closer to 11.

A kilogram would be way more than 11 teaspoons, along with 11 ounces.

Therefore, our closest answer is A) Pounds.

I hope this helps!

Kilograms is a type of measurement for weight, and so the converted measure should also be weight (which leaves only oz. and lbs.)

The converting ratio of kilograms to pounds is: 1 = 2.2

The converting ratio of kilograms to ounces is: 1 = 35.274

This means that pounds, or (B) is your closest answer


hope this helps
