To calculate the child's weight in pounds (lbs) to kilograms (kg) and round the answer to two decimal places, follow these steps:
1. Identify the given weight:
- The child's weight is given as 55 lbs.
2. Conversion factor:
- The conversion factor between pounds and kilograms is: 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms.
3. Convert the weight from pounds to kilograms:
- Multiplying the child's weight by the conversion factor:
[tex]\[
\text{weight in kg} = 55 \, \text{lbs} \times 0.453592 \, \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{lb}}
\][/tex]
4. Calculate the weight:
- This calculation yields:
[tex]\[
55 \times 0.453592 = 24.94756
\][/tex]
- Therefore, the weight in kilograms is approximately 24.94756 kg.
5. Round the result to two decimal places:
- Rounding 24.94756 to two decimal places yields:
[tex]\[
24.95 \, \text{kg}
\][/tex]
So, the child's weight in kilograms, rounded to two decimal places, is 24.95 kg.
