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 56.5 kg. So, we substitute x = 56.5 into the equation:
y = 56.5 * 2.20462
Step 4: Calculate the result
Using a calculator or by performing the multiplication manually, we find:
y ≈ 124.561
Step 5: Round the result (optional)
Since weight is typically rounded to the nearest whole number, we can round 124.561 to the nearest pound, which is 125 lbs.
Therefore, 56.5 kg is approximately equal to 125 lbs.
