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 weight in kg
In this case, the given weight is 1.36 kg. So, we substitute x = 1.36 kg into the equation:
1.36 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = y lbs
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Multiply 1.36 kg by 2.20462 lbs/kg:
1.36 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = 2.99879232 lbs
Step 5: Round the result (if necessary)
Since weight is typically rounded to the nearest decimal place, we can round the result to two decimal places:
2.99879232 lbs ≈ 3.00 lbs
Therefore, 1.36 kg is approximately equal to 3.00 lbs.
