What is the equivalent weight of 50 kg in pounds (1 kg = 2.2 lb)?

Rationale

The equivalent weight of 50 kg in pounds is 110 lb.

Since 1 kilogram is equivalent to 2.2 pounds, we can simply multiply the given weight in kilograms by the conversion factor to find the equivalent weight in pounds.

A (110 lb) CORRECT

This is the correct answer. By multiplying 50 kg by the conversion factor of 2.2 lb/kg, we get 110 lb.

B (220 lb) YOUR ANSWER

This value would be the equivalent of 100 kg, not 50 kg. This is because 100 kg times the conversion factor of 2.2 lb/kg equals 220 lb.

C (52.2 lb) YOUR ANSWER

This value is incorrect because it seems to suggest that the conversion factor from kilograms to pounds is approximately 1.04, which is not correct. The actual conversion factor is 2.2 lb/kg.

D (22.7 lb) YOUR ANSWER

This value is also incorrect because it seems to suggest that the conversion factor from kilograms to pounds is approximately 0.45, which is the actual conversion factor from pounds to kilograms, not the other way around.

Conclusion

To convert from kilograms to pounds, we must multiply the given weight in kilograms by the conversion factor of 2.2 lb/kg. In this case, 50 kg times 2.2 lb/kg gives us the correct answer of 110 lb. The other options incorrectly represent either the conversion from pounds to kilograms, or the equivalent weight of different quantities in kilograms.
