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 104 kg. So, we substitute x = 104 kg into the equation:
104 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = y lbs
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Multiply 104 kg by 2.20462 to find the weight in lbs:
104 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = 229.28 lbs
Step 5: Round the result (if necessary)
Since weight is often rounded to the nearest whole number, you can round 229.28 lbs to 229 lbs.
Therefore, 104 kg is approximately equal to 229 lbs.
