	73.55 kg
	33.6 kg
	74.45 kg
	163 kg

Answer 1

Google knows :-)

74lb = 33.5658kg = 33.57kg to the nearest hundredth

Answer 2

Since the question is asking for the conversion from pounds to kilograms, and it is asking you to "round to the nearest hundredth if necessary" we will proceed as follows.

The conversion formula is

kg = lb / 2.2046

If we divide 74 lbs by 2.2046, we get

kg = 74 / 2.2046 = 33.5661 kg.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth: 33.57 kg. Out of the options that you provided, 33.6 kg would be the best answer because our answer rounded to the nearest tenth (one place over) would be 33.6 kg.
