To determine how many pounds there are in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms, follow these steps:
1. Recall the conversion factor between kilograms and pounds: 1 kilogram is equivalent to 2.2 pounds.
2. If there are [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms, you can find the equivalent weight in pounds by multiplying the number of kilograms by the conversion factor of 2.2.
Thus, the number of pounds in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms is given by:
[tex]\[ \text{pounds} = 2.2 \times x \][/tex]
So, using the provided options:
- [tex]\( \times 2.2 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 2.2 \times \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 2.2 + x \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 2.2 \times \)[/tex]
The correct representation for the number of pounds in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms is:
[tex]\[ 2.2 \times x \][/tex]
This means you multiply 2.2 by the number [tex]\( x \)[/tex] to convert kilograms to pounds.
