Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer medication to a preschooler and must convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms. The child weighs 30 lb. How many kilograms does the child weigh? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 13.6 kg
Rationale: The correct answer is 13.6 kg.
To convert pounds to kilograms, the formula is weight in pounds divided by 2.2. Given the child's weight is 30 lb, the calculation would be 30 / 2.2 = 13.64 kg. Rounding to the nearest tenth gives us 13.6 kg.
