Question 32 of 33 3.0 Points An unknown substance is measured to be 2.5 lbs. Which is the correct way to convert this mass in pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg)?  A. 2.5 lbs x (1 kg / 2.2 lbs) = 1.136 kg  B. 2.5 lbs x (2.2 lbs / 1 kg) = 5.5 lbs  C. 2.5 lbs / 2.2 lbs = 1.136 kg  D. None of the above Feedback:Unit conversion is done correctly by multiplying the original number by a factor that is equal to one. In this case, because 1 kg is equal to 2.2 lbs, the factor (1 kg / 2.2 lbs) is equal to 1. That means that then when we multiply 2.5 lbs by this value, we haven’t changed the value, just the units.
