Veterinary Medicine Practice Test

A 12.5 lb cat weighs how many kilograms?

7.1 kg 2.4 kg 5.7 kg 9.9 kg

Correct Answer:

5.7 kg

Explanation:

Converting pounds to kilograms uses the conversion that 1 kilogram is about 2.2046 pounds. To get kilograms from pounds, divide by 2.2046 or multiply by 0.4536. For 12.5 pounds, 12.5 ÷ 2.2046 ≈ 5.66 kg, which rounds to 5.7 kg. Equivalently, 12.5 × 0.4536 ≈ 5.67 kg. In practice, rounding to one decimal place gives 5.7 kg. This matches a 12.5-pound cat in kilograms. The other options correspond to different pound values (for example, 2.4 kg is about 5.3 lb, 7.1 kg is about 15.6 lb, and 9.9 kg is about 21.8 lb), not 12.5 lb.
