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 conversion equation can be written as:
x kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = y lbs
Step 3: Plug in the given weight in kg
In this case, the given weight is 9.5 kg. So, we substitute x = 9.5 kg into the equation:
9.5 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = y lbs
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Multiply 9.5 kg by 2.20462 lbs/kg:
9.5 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = 20.94439 lbs
Step 5: Round the result (if necessary)
Since weight is often rounded to the nearest decimal place, we can round the result to the desired precision. In this case, let’s round to one decimal place:
20.94439 lbs ≈ 20.9 lbs
Therefore, 9.5 kg is approximately equal to 20.9 lbs.
