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 56.2 kg. So, we substitute x = 56.2 into the equation:
y = 56.2 * 2.20462
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Using a calculator or by hand, multiply 56.2 by 2.20462:
y ≈ 123.91844
Step 5: Round the result (optional)
Since weight is often rounded to the nearest whole number, you can round 123.91844 to the nearest pound:
y ≈ 124 lbs
Therefore, 56.2 kg is approximately equal to 124 lbs.
