if one pound is equal to 425g then how many kg is one pound?
I know that 1 pound is usually 454g and .454g and 1kg=2.2 pounds but this number being less than the actual conversion for one pound is confusing me :/

A)19
B)2.2
C).19
D).93

As you said 1 lb = 425g, then it is obvious that 1lb = 0.425kg.

A)19

This question is actually asking you how many 454 grams 1 kg has. So we divide 1 kg aka 1000 g by 454 g and we get 2.20, which means you have 2.20 lb per 1 kg. Hope this helps 🙂

Lol, then the question should have asked how many pounds are in 1kg, not how many kg are in 1 lb. They screwed up the question.

Yeah I think so too haha. If there's a choice that says 0.425 then it should totally be that!

Glad to know it's not just me lol cause the way this question was worded really confused me when I saw .454 wasn't an option.
