A. 145.45 kg
B. 322.22 kg
C. 65.25 kg
D. 144.45 kg

Answer :

To convert pounds to kilograms, you need to multiply the number of pounds by the conversion factor, which is 0.45. This means that for every pound, there are 0.45 kilograms.

Let's solve the problem using the given information:

1. You have a woman weighing 145 pounds.
2. To convert this weight into kilograms, multiply 145 by the conversion factor 0.45.

[tex]\[
145 \, \text{pounds} \times 0.45 \, \text{kg/pound} = 65.25 \, \text{kg}
\][/tex]

So, the weight of a 145-pound woman is 65.25 kilograms.

Therefore, the correct answer is 65.25 kg.
