A client weighs 165 pounds. What is the weight in kilograms?

• A. 60 kg
• B. 75 kg
• C. 82 kg
• D. 100 kg

Answer: (B)

Weight in kilograms is found by dividing pounds by the pounds-per-kilogram conversion, since 1 kilogram is about 2.2046 pounds. So 165 lb ÷ 2.2046 ≈ 74.8 kg. Rounding to the nearest whole kilogram gives 75 kg. This aligns with the idea that 165 pounds is just under 75 kilograms. The other numbers would correspond to noticeably different weights in pounds (for example, 60 kg is about 132 lb, 82 kg about 180 lb, and 100 kg about 220 lb), which don’t match the given 165 lb.
