5 kilograms is how many pounds?

5 kilograms is how many pounds?

• A. 11 lbs
• B. 10 lbs
• C. 12 lbs
• D. 9 lbs

Answer: (A)

Converting kilograms to pounds using 1 kilogram ≈ 2.2 pounds. Multiply 5 kg by 2.2: 5 × 2.2 = 11 pounds. If you use the more exact factor 2.2046, you get about 11.02 pounds, which still rounds to 11 pounds. So the correct result is 11 pounds. The other options would correspond to different weights: about 4.54 kg for 10 lb, about 5.45 kg for 12 lb, and about 4.09 kg for 9 lb, none of which equal 5 kg.
