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 103 kg. So, we substitute x = 103 kg into the equation:
103 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = y lbs
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Multiply 103 by 2.20462:
103 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = 227.07626 lbs
Step 5: Round the result (if necessary)
Since weight is often rounded to the nearest whole number, you can round 227.07626 lbs to 227 lbs.
Therefore, 103 kg is approximately equal to 227 lbs.
