Solution Steps

Step 1: Convert Pounds to Kilograms

To convert the client's weight from pounds to kilograms, we use the conversion factor:
\[ 1 \text{ lb} = 0.453592 \text{ kg} \]

Step 2: Calculate the Weight in Kilograms

Multiply the client's weight in pounds by the conversion factor:
\[ 128 \text{ lb} \times 0.453592 \text{ kg/lb} = 58.059136 \text{ kg} \]

Step 3: Round the Result

Round the result to the nearest tenth:
\[ 58.059136 \approx 58.1 \]

Final Answer

The client's weight in kilograms is \(\boxed{58.1 \text{ kg}}\).
