The weights in pounds of four patients are: Patient A: 43 pounds, Patient B: 93 pounds, Patient C: 150 pounds, Patient D: 210 pounds. Given 1 kg is approximately 2.2 pounds, which patient's weight is approximately 95 kg?

Rationale

Patient D's weight is approximately 95 kg.

Patient D's weight in pounds (210) when converted into kilograms using the given conversion factor of 1 kg = 2.2 lbs, is approximately 95 kg. This makes Patient D the correct answer choice.

A (Patient B) YOUR ANSWER

Patient B's weight is 93 pounds. When converted to kilograms using the given conversion factor of 1 kg = 2.2 lbs, this equates to approximately 42 kg. This is significantly less than the 95 kg specified in the question, making Patient B an incorrect choice.

B (Patient A) YOUR ANSWER

Patient A's weight is 43 pounds. When this is converted to kilograms using the conversion factor of 1 kg = 2.2 lbs, it gives a value of approximately 20 kg. This value is far less than the 95 kg given in the question, so Patient A is not the correct answer.

C (Patient C) YOUR ANSWER

Patient C's weight is 150 pounds. Converting this to kilograms using the conversion factor of 1 kg = 2.2 lbs, results in approximately 68 kg. This is still less than the 95 kg specified in the question, making Patient C an incorrect choice.

D (Patient D) CORRECT

Patient D's weight is 210 pounds. When this is converted to kilograms using the conversion factor of 1 kg = 2.2 lbs, it yields a value of approximately 95 kg. This matches the weight specified in the question, confirming Patient D as the correct answer.

Conclusion

In converting the weights of the patients from pounds to kilograms, it is clear that Patient D's weight aligns closest with the specified weight of 95 kg. Patients A, B, and C all have weights significantly less than this when converted to kilograms, using the provided conversion factor of 1 kg being approximately equal to 2.2 lbs. Thus, Patient D's weight is the one that is approximately 95 kg.

The weights in pounds of four patients are: Patient A: 43 pounds, Patient B: 93 pounds, Patient C: 150 pounds, Patient D: 210 pounds. Given 1 kg is approximately 2.2 pounds, which patient's weight is approximately 95 kg?

Patient D's weight is approximately 95 kg.
