Convert 33 pounds to kilograms.

Convert 33 pounds to kilograms.

• A. 15 kg
• B. 33 kg
• C. 22 kg
• D. 11 kg

Answer: (A)

Converting pounds to kilograms uses the standard weight relationship: 1 kilogram is about 2.2046 pounds. To get kilograms from pounds, divide the pounds by 2.2046. For 33 pounds, 33 ÷ 2.2046 ≈ 14.97 kg, which rounds to 15 kg. So 15 kg is the correct result. The other values would come from applying the factor in the wrong direction or from rounding differently: 33 kg would imply a much larger number of pounds, 11 kg corresponds to about 24 pounds, and 22 kg corresponds to about 48.5 pounds. In practice, rounding to the nearest kilogram is common in clinical calculations.
