What is the kilogram equivalent of 220 pounds?

• A. 80 kg
• B. 100 kg
• C. 90 kg
• D. 110 kg

Answer: (B)

Converting pounds to kilograms uses the factor 1 kilogram ≈ 2.2046 pounds. To get kilograms from pounds, divide by 2.2046. For 220 pounds: 220 ÷ 2.2046 ≈ 99.8 kilograms, which rounds to 100 kilograms. Using the alternative conversion 1 pound ≈ 0.4536 kilograms gives 220 × 0.4536 ≈ 99.79 kilograms, again about 100 kg. The other options correspond to noticeably different weights in pounds (e.g., 80 kg is ~176 lb, 90 kg is ~198 lb, 110 kg is ~243 lb), so they don’t match 220 pounds.
