To set up a ratio and proportion to determine the weight in kg, we need to use the fact that there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, we set up the proportion as 1000 g : 1 kg = 3400 g : X kg. Solving for X, we can cross-multiply and simplify to get X = (3400 g * 1 kg) / 1000 g = 3.4 kg. Therefore, the weight of the infant in kilograms is 3.4 kg. Choice D represents this setup correctly.
