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: Substitute the given value
In this case, the given weight is 210 kg. So, we substitute x = 210 kg into the equation:
210 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = y lbs
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Multiply 210 kg by 2.20462 to find the weight in lbs:
210 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = 462.9712 lbs
Step 5: Round the result (if necessary)
Since weight is typically rounded to the nearest whole number, we can round 462.9712 lbs to 463 lbs.
Therefore, 210 kg is approximately equal to 463 lbs.
