If the total weight of a container is 108 pounds, what is its weight in kilograms using the conversion of 1 kg = 1.8 lbs?

60.0
166.6
194.0
45.0

The correct answer is: 166.6

To convert the total weight of the container from pounds to kilograms using the conversion factor of 1 kg = 1.8 lbs, you need to use the formula: Weight in kilograms = Weight in pounds / Conversion factor. In this case, the weight in pounds is 108. To find the weight in kilograms, you'd divide 108 by 1.8: Weight in kilograms = 108 lbs / 1.8 lbs/kg = 60 kg. The correct response, which aligns with the calculation made here, is actually 60 kg. The incorrect response options, including the one selected, do not match the conversion as accurate interpretations of the given weight in kilograms. It’s important to pay close attention to the calculation steps and the proper conversion rate to achieve the correct conversion result.
