Answer 5

lbs - The origin is in the Latin word libra, which could mean both balance scales (hence the symbol for the astrological sign Libra, which was named after a constellation that was thought to resemble scales) and also a pound weight, for which the full expression was libra pondo, the second word being the origin of our pound.

The pound or pound-mass (abbreviation: lb, lbm, or sometimes in the United States: #) is a unit of mass used in the imperial, United States customary and other systems of measurement. A number of different definitions have been used, the most common today being the international avoirdupois pound of exactly 0.45359237 kilogram.

1 pound = 0.45359237 kilogram

1] So if you want to convert lbs (pounds) to kilograms then just multiply the pounds by 0.45359237 kilogram & you'll get your weight in kilograms.

2] If you want to convert kilograms to pounds then divide kilograms by 0.45359237 & you'll get your weight in pounds.
