To determine how many pounds there are in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms, we need to use the conversion factor that tells us there are 2.2 pounds in 1 kilogram.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Understand the Conversion Factor:
- We know that 1 kilogram is equivalent to 2.2 pounds.
2. Set Up the Conversion for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] Kilograms:
- If 1 kilogram is 2.2 pounds, then [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms will be [tex]\( 2.2 \times x \)[/tex] pounds.
3. Form the Equation:
- To find the number of pounds in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms, we multiply [tex]\( x \)[/tex] (the number of kilograms) by the conversion factor (2.2 pounds per kilogram):
[tex]\[
\text{number of pounds} = 2.2 \times x
\][/tex]
4. Write the Expression:
- Therefore, the number of pounds in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms is given by the expression:
[tex]\[
2.2x
\][/tex]
### Conclusion:
Given that the problem translates directly to the multiplication of [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms by 2.2 to convert to pounds, the correct answer from the given choices is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{2.2x} \][/tex]
