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 equation to convert kg to lbs is: y = x * 2.20462.
Step 3: Substitute the given value
In this case, the given weight is 52 kg. So, we substitute x = 52 into the equation: y = 52 * 2.20462.
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Multiply 52 by 2.20462:
y = 52 * 2.20462
y ≈ 114.64024
Step 5: Round the answer (optional)
Since weight is often rounded to the nearest whole number, you can round the answer to the nearest pound:
y ≈ 115 lbs
Therefore, 52 kg is approximately equal to 115 lbs.
