Categories weight conversion metric imperial

When it comes to weight conversions, it is essential to understand how different units relate to one another. The most common weight units include kilograms, grams, pounds, and ounces. Below are some key conversions that can help you navigate between these units.

Kilograms to Pounds

To convert kilograms (kg) to pounds (lbs), you can use the following formula:

1 kg = 2.20462 lbs

For example, if you have 5 kg, you multiply:

5 kg × 2.20462 = 11.0231 lbs

Pounds to Kilograms

Conversely, to convert pounds to kilograms, use:

1 lb = 0.453592 kg

If you have 10 lbs, the conversion would be:

10 lbs × 0.453592 = 4.53592 kg

Grams to Ounces

For converting grams (g) to ounces (oz), the conversion factor is:

1 g = 0.03527396 oz

Thus, 100 grams would equal:

100 g × 0.03527396 = 3.527396 oz

Ounces to Grams

To convert ounces back to grams:

1 oz = 28.3495 g

So, if you have 5 oz, it would be:

5 oz × 28.3495 = 141.7475 g
