What is the equivalent of 52.3 kg in pounds?

24 lb
523 lb
105 lb
115 lb

The correct answer is: 115 lb

To convert kilograms to pounds, you can use the conversion factor where 1 kilogram is approximately equal to 2.20462 pounds. To find the equivalent of 52.3 kg in pounds, you multiply 52.3 kg by the conversion factor: 52.3 kg × 2.20462 lb/kg = 115.7 lb. Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives you approximately 116 lb. Among the options provided, 115 lb is the closest choice. This reflects a common rounding practice in scientific measurements, where you might present a slightly lower but approximate value. Hence, the correct answer is indeed 115 lb, making it the most accurate choice given the provided options.
