Which is the correct metric weight for a person who weighs 165 lb?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg), we use the conversion factor of 1 lb = 0.453592 kg. 
Therefore,

165 lb x (0.453592 kg/1 lb) = 74.8427 kg

Rounding off to the nearest whole number gives us 75 kg as the correct metric weight. Choice C is the right answer.

A cannot be the correct answer because 1650 kg is 10 times greater than 165 pounds, which is not a reasonable conversion. 
B cannot be the correct answer because 16.5 kg is approximately 36 pounds, which is too small to be a realistic weight for most people. 
D cannot be the correct answer because 750 kg is almost a ton, which is obviously an unreasonable weight for a person to have.
