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 kilograms to pounds, you need to multiply the weight in kilograms by 2.20462.
Step 2: Set up the conversion equation
Let’s denote the weight in kilograms as “x” and the weight in pounds as “y”. The conversion equation can be written as:
x kg * 2.20462 = y lbs
Step 3: Substitute the given value
In this case, the given weight is 460 kg. So, we substitute x = 460 kg into the equation:
460 kg * 2.20462 = y lbs
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Multiply 460 kg by 2.20462:
460 kg * 2.20462 = 1014.1262 lbs
Step 5: Round the result (if necessary)
Since weight is typically rounded to the nearest whole number, we can round 1014.1262 lbs to 1014 lbs.
Therefore, 460 kg is approximately equal to 1014 lbs.
