To convert

`13.60777 kg` . Rounding to the nearest hundredth gives
`13.61 kg`, which is not listed in the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question 'A child weighs
`30 lb`. How many kilograms does this child weigh? Round to the nearest hundredth.' requires converting pounds to kilograms. To convert pounds to kilograms, we use the conversion factor that 1 pound is approximately equal to
`0.45359237` kilograms. Therefore, to convert
`30 pounds` into kilograms, we multiply 30 by

`0.45359237. 30 lb × 0.45359237 kg/lb = 13.60777` kilograms.

Now rounding this to the nearest hundredth, we get
`13.61` kilograms. Thus, the correct answer is not provided among the options A., B., C., or D. as they all do not round up to the nearest hundredth of the actual converted weight.
