Question

1 kilogram is about ____.
a 2.2 tons
b 2.2 pounds
c 2.2 ounces
d 0.22 ton

Explanation:

This is a unit conversion question. 1 ton is equal to 1000 kilograms, so options A and D are far too large. 1 ounce is approximately 0.0283 kilograms, so 2.2 ounces is much smaller than 1 kilogram. 1 pound is approximately 0.4536 kilograms, so 1 kilogram is about $\frac{1}{0.4536} \approx 2.2$ pounds.

Answer:

B. 2.2 pounds
