To convert kilograms (kg) to pounds (lbs), you can use the following step-by-step instructions:
Step 1: Understand the conversion factor
1 kilogram (kg) is equal to 2.20462 pounds (lbs). This means that to convert kg to lbs, you need to multiply the weight in kg by 2.20462.
Step 2: Set up the conversion equation
Let’s denote the weight in kg as “x” and the weight in lbs as “y”. The conversion equation can be written as:
x kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = y lbs
Step 3: Plug in the given value
In this case, the given weight is 1.1 kg. So, we substitute x = 1.1 kg into the equation:
1.1 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = y lbs
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Multiply 1.1 kg by 2.20462 lbs/kg:
1.1 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = 2.42508 lbs
Step 5: Round the result (if necessary)
Since weight is often rounded to a certain number of decimal places, you may choose to round the result. In this case, rounding to two decimal places gives us:
2.42508 lbs ≈ 2.43 lbs
Therefore, 1.1 kg is approximately equal to 2.43 lbs.
