To convert a weight value from 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 from kg to lbs, you need to multiply the weight value in kg by 2.20462.
Step 2: Set up the conversion equation
Let’s say you have a weight value in kilograms, denoted as X kg. To convert this to pounds, you can set up the equation as follows:
X kg * 2.20462 = Y lbs
