Question

1 kilogram (kg) = 2.2 pounds (lbs)
1)50 kilograms to pounds
2)50 pounds to kilograms

Answer 1

1) 50 Kg = 110 Ibs

2) 50 Ibs = 250/11 Kg

Explanation:

Let us use the ratio method to solve this question

1)

→ Kg → Ibs

→ 1 → 2.2

→ 50 → x

By using cross multiplication

∵ 1 × x = 50 × 2.2

∴ x = 110 Ibs

∴ 50 Kg = 110 Ibs

2)

Similar we can find the other part

→ Kg → Ibs

→ 1 → 2.2

→ y → 50

By using cross multiplication

∵ y × 2.2 = 1 × 50

∴ 2.2y = 50

→ Divide both sides by 2.2 to find y

∴
`(2.2y)/(2.2)=(50)/(2.2)`

∴ y = 250/11 Kg ⇒ 22.7272 Kg

∴ 50 Ibs = 250/11 Kg
