If there are 2.2 pounds in 1 kilogram, how many pounds are there in [tex]$x$[/tex] kilograms?

A. [tex]\frac{x}{2.2}[/tex]
B. [tex]2.2 x[/tex]
C. [tex]2.2 + x[/tex]
D. [tex]\frac{2.2}{x}[/tex]



Answer :

To determine how many pounds there are in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms, we start with the given conversion factor: there are 2.2 pounds in 1 kilogram. This means that for every kilogram, we multiply the number of kilograms by 2.2 to convert the weight into pounds.

Let's denote the number of kilograms as [tex]\( x \)[/tex]. To convert [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms into pounds, we need to multiply [tex]\( x \)[/tex] by the conversion factor (2.2 pounds per kilogram).

So, the expression to convert [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms into pounds is:

[tex]\[ \text{pounds} = 2.2 \times x \][/tex]

Therefore, the number of pounds in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms is represented by the expression [tex]\( 2.2 x \)[/tex].

The correct answer is:

[tex]\[ 2.2 x \][/tex]
