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 Wkg and the weight in lbs as Wlbs. The conversion equation can be written as:
Wlbs = Wkg * 2.20462
Step 3: Plug in the given weight in kg
In this case, the given weight is 139 kg. So, we substitute Wkg = 139 into the equation:
Wlbs = 139 * 2.20462
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Using a calculator, multiply 139 by 2.20462:
Wlbs ≈ 306.44
Step 5: Round the result (optional)
Since weight is typically rounded to the nearest whole number, you can round 306.44 to the nearest pound:
Wlbs ≈ 306
Therefore, 139 kg is approximately equal to 306 lbs.
