Question

How much is 23- kg in pounds?

Answer 1

Hint: We can measure the weight of the substances in grams (gm), kilograms (Kg) and pounds. Pound is going to be denoted with lbs. The relationship between these units is as follows.
 1 kg = 1000 grams = 2.26 pound or lbs.
- Ounce is also a unit to measure weight or mass of the compounds. It is used mostly in British customary systems. One ounce is equal to one sixteenth of a pound.

Complete step by step answer:
- In the question it is asked to calculate the 23 kg into pounds.
- We know that there is a relationship between kilograms and pounds and it is as follows.
1 kilogram = 2.26 pound or lbs.
- We have to convert 23 kg into lbs.
- For one kg it is equal to 2.26 pounds then for 23 kg it will be as follows.
1 kg = 2.26 lbs
23 kg = ?
- After multiplying the 2.26 lbs with 23 kg we will get the value of 23 kg in pounds.
- 23 kg in pounds = (23) (2.26) = 50.70632 lbs or pounds.
- Therefore 23 kg in pounds is equal to 50.70632 lbs.

Note: Kilogram is the SI unit of mass. In the FPS (Foot – Pound - Second system) system the unit for mass is pounds (lbs). The full form of ‘lbs’, in Latin libra means 'scale or balance’. That is why pounds are going to denote the ‘lb’ unit.
