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 W_kg and the weight in lbs as W_lbs. The conversion equation can be written as:
W_lbs = W_kg * 2.20462
Step 3: Plug in the given weight in kg
In this case, the given weight is 146 kg. So, we substitute W_kg = 146 into the equation:
W_lbs = 146 * 2.20462
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Multiply 146 by 2.20462:
W_lbs = 321.86932
Step 5: Round the result (if necessary)
Since weight is typically rounded to the nearest whole number, we can round 321.86932 to 322 lbs.
Therefore, 146 kg is approximately equal to 322 lbs.
