The the formula 1 kg = 2.205 pounds and set up a proportion to solve for x. The weight in kilograms is approximately A. 74.84.

To convert pounds to kilograms, we can use the conversion factor 1 kg = 2.205 pounds. Given that 165 pounds is the weight we want to convert, we can set up a proportion:

165 lb = x kg

1 kg / 2.205 lb = x kg / 165 lb

Solving for x, we find:

x = (165 lb * 1 kg) / 2.205 lb

Simplifying, we have:

x = 74.83 kg (rounded to two decimal places)

So therefore, the weight of 165 pounds is approximately 74.84 kg. So therefore the correct answer among the given option is A. 74.84.
