To determine the number of pounds in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms, we start with the information that there are 2.2 pounds in 1 kilogram. This means that for every kilogram, you multiply by 2.2 to convert to pounds.
Given:
- 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds
To find the number of pounds in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms, you simply multiply [tex]\( x \)[/tex] (the number of kilograms) by the conversion factor, which is 2.2 pounds per kilogram.
So, the calculation would be:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of pounds} = x \times 2.2 \][/tex]
Therefore, the expression that correctly represents the number of pounds in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms is:
[tex]\[ 2.2x \][/tex]
So, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ 2.2 x \][/tex]
