3 Ways to Convert Kilograms to Pounds - wikiHow - Free Printable

To solve these problems, we need to convert kilograms (kg) into pounds (lbs). The worksheet tells us that 1 kilogram is equal to 2.20462 pounds.

So, for every problem, we just multiply the number of kilograms by 2.20462 to get the answer in pounds.

Let’s go step by step:

---

Problem 1: Convert 50 kilograms to pounds

→ 50 × 2.20462 = ?

Let’s calculate:

50 × 2 = 100
50 × 0.20462 = 10.231
Add them: 100 + 10.231 = 110.231

✔ So, 50 kg = 110.231 lbs

Problem 2: Convert 75 kilograms to pounds

→ 75 × 2.20462 = ?

Break it down:

75 × 2 = 150
75 × 0.20462 = let’s compute:

First, 75 × 0.2 = 15
75 × 0.00462 = 0.3465
So, 15 + 0.3465 = 15.3465

Now add: 150 + 15.3465 = 165.3465

✔ So, 75 kg = 165.3465 lbs

Problem 3: Convert 100 kilograms to pounds

→ 100 × 2.20462 = 220.462

(Just move the decimal two places right — easy!)

✔ So, 100 kg = 220.462 lbs

Problem 4: Convert 125 kilograms to pounds

→ 125 × 2.20462 = ?

We can think of 125 as 100 + 25

100 × 2.20462 = 220.462
25 × 2.20462 = half of 50 × 2.20462 → which we know from Problem 1 is 110.231, so half is 55.1155

Add: 220.462 + 55.1155 = 275.5775

✔ So, 125 kg = 275.5775 lbs

---

Problem 5: Convert 150 kilograms to pounds

→ 150 × 2.20462 = ?

Think of 150 as 100 + 50

100 × 2.20462 = 220.462
50 × 2.20462 = 110.231 (from Problem 1)

Add: 220.462 + 110.231 = 330.693

✔ So, 150 kg = 330.693 lbs
