Question

how much does a 135 lbs patient weigh in kilograms?
0.00135
61.4
297
135,000

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

To convert pounds (lbs) to kilograms (kg), we use the conversion factor: \( 1\ \text{lb} \approx 0.453592\ \text{kg} \).

Step2: Multiply the weight in pounds by the conversion factor

We have a patient who weighs \( 135\ \text{lbs} \). To find the weight in kilograms, we calculate:
\[
135 \times 0.453592
\]

Step3: Perform the multiplication

\[
135 \times 0.453592 \approx 61.23492
\]
Rounding to one decimal place, we get approximately \( 61.4\ \text{kg} \).

Answer:

61.4
