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: Substitute the given value
In this case, the given weight is 24 kg. So, we substitute Wkg = 24 into the equation:
Wlbs = 24 * 2.20462
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Multiply 24 by 2.20462:
Wlbs = 52.91088
Step 5: Round the result (if necessary)
Since weight is typically rounded to the nearest whole number, you can round 52.91088 to 53 lbs.
Therefore, 24 kg is approximately equal to 53 lbs.
