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 W_kg and the weight in lbs as W_lbs. The conversion equation can be written as:
W_lbs = W_kg * 2.20462
Step 3: Plug in the given weight in kg
In this case, the given weight is 76.7 kg. So, we substitute W_kg = 76.7 in the equation:
W_lbs = 76.7 * 2.20462
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Multiply 76.7 by 2.20462 using a calculator or by hand:
W_lbs ≈ 169.075
Step 5: Round the result (optional)
Since weight is often rounded to the nearest whole number, you can round 169.075 to the nearest pound:
W_lbs ≈ 169 lbs
Therefore, 76.7 kg is approximately equal to 169 lbs.
