1. **State the problem:** We want to convert the weight of a rhinoceros from kilograms to pounds.
2. **Formula used:** To convert kilograms to pounds, use the conversion factor:
$$\text{pounds} = \text{kilograms} \times 2.2$$
3. **Apply the formula:** Given the rhinoceros weighs 1800 kilograms,
$$\text{pounds} = 1800 \times 2.2$$
4. **Calculate:**
$$1800 \times 2.2 = 3960$$
5. **Answer:** The rhinoceros weighs approximately **3960 pounds**.
This means a 1,800-kilogram rhinoceros weighs about 3960 pounds when converted using the factor 1 kg ≈ 2.2 lb.
