I weighed myself today, and the scale showed 155 pounds. Now, I’m used to measuring my weight in kilograms, so I needed to do a quick conversion. Here’s how I did it.
Finding the Conversion Factor
First, I had to remember the conversion factor between pounds and kilograms. A quick search reminded me that 1 pound is equal to 0.45359237 kilograms. I made a mental note of this number because I knew I would need it for my calculation.
Doing the Math
With the conversion factor in mind, I took my weight in pounds, which is 155, and multiplied it by 0.45359237. I grabbed my phone and used its calculator for this.
- 155 lbs 0.45359237 kg/lb = 70.30681735 kg
The result of this multiplication gave me my weight in kilograms.
The Result
After doing the calculation, I found out that 155 pounds is approximately equal to 70.30681735 kilograms. I usually round it to one decimal place, so I’d say it’s about 70.3 kg. Now I know my weight in kilograms and I can keep track of it in the units that I’m most comfortable with.
It’s a pretty straightforward process, and I do this kind of conversion quite often. Hope you guys find this helpful!
