To calculate the mass in kilograms, we need to divide the weight in pounds by 2.2, which is the conversion factor for pounds to kilograms. Therefore, the correct formula is 165 ÷ 2.2 = 75 kilograms. Option A multiplies 165 by 2.2, which gives incorrect results since we need to divide by 2.2. Option C divides 2.2 by 165, which is the incorrect order. Option D adds 165 and 2.2, which is not the correct formula for converting pounds to kilograms.
