The answer is the second one: 20 kg.

To convert pounds to kilograms, you use the conversion factor where 1 kilogram is approximately 2.20462 pounds.

Here's the calculation:

  1. Start with the weight in pounds: 44 lb.

  2. Use the conversion factor: 1 kg = 2.20462 lb.

  3. Calculate the weight in kilograms:

    \[ \text{Weight in kg} = \frac{44 \text{ lb}}{2.20462 \text{ lb/kg}} \approx 19.958 \text{ kg} \]

  4. Round to the nearest whole number: 20 kg.

Explanation for each option:

  • 96.8 kg: This is incorrect. It is much higher than the correct conversion.
  • 20 kg: This is correct. The conversion from 44 lb to kg results in approximately 20 kg.
  • 98 kg: This is incorrect. It is much higher than the correct conversion.
  • 22 kg: This is incorrect. It is slightly higher than the correct conversion.

In summary, the correct conversion of 44 pounds to kilograms is approximately 20 kg.
