Question

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

Answer 1

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:

`(1)/(2.2)=(k(2.2))/(2.2)\\\\(1)/(2.2)=k`

Set up another equation like so:

`(y)/(x)=(y)/(x)`

Insert values:

`(1)/(2.2)=(y)/(112)`

Solve for y. Cross multiply:

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

Isolate the variable. Divide both sides by 2.2:

`(112)/(2.2)=(2.2y)/(2.2) \\\\ y=50.9090...`

So, there are about 50.9 kilograms in 112 pounds.
