There is a way to convert Lb to kilos in your head and here's how Take the Lb number divide by 2. Now take off the ones place of the answer. Take that number and subtract it from your divide by 2 answer. And you will have Kg. Example: 180lb / 2=90. 90-9=81 Kg. . Now if we do the math from this video on the same problem we have 81kg X2= 162lb. 162+16 =178. It's not perfect but to do it quickly in your head. This helps
As a former math and physics teacher, I’m on board with that. That said, it’s fairly unlikely to happen anytime soon, so it’s nice to have a quick and easy way to convert for those times when one needs to do so.
Well said, more confusing is when the older generation in the UK know that there 2240lb in a ton and the us use a different ton and also a different gallon.
@@TestifySCThis is a nice trick and worth memorizing. However, this is not how you teach kids because to them it is a mystery why it works. For example, once they memorize this trick ask a kid to convert meters to miles - they won’t have a clue. Learning conversions and math should not be a mystery.
Sure, it's just a bit more of a hassle to deal with the extra digits. If you're talking about 2.082 kg, I'd recommend treating it as 2 kg or even 2.1 kg. Using this method with 2.1 kg, you'd do 2.1 * 2 = 4.2 and then add .42 (10% of 4.2) to get 4.62 lb, which is very close to the actual answer of 4.59 lb (plus some more decimal places).
In this video, we cover how to change from kilograms to pounds. As for changing from pounds to kilograms like you mentioned, there's not a good shortcut for that.
It's a good question, and it'd be nice to have a reverse shortcut as well, but due to the mathematical nature of things, there's not a great shortcut to go from pounds to kilograms. What typically happens is that you become very adept at converting kilos to pounds and in the process end up memorizing a lot of common conversions (usually due to sheer repetition - not because you're necessarily trying to do so). For example, you end up knowing that 85 kg is 187 lb and 90 kg is 198 lb, and thus if you end up needing to convert 195 lb to kg, you can pretty quickly estimate it as around 88-89 kg. Hope this helps!
It's not quite as accurate, but it's certainly close enough for exercises on the fly without a calculator. Same principle in reverse: Take the pounds: 187 Divide it by 2 = 93.5 (In your head divide the 18 first - then the 7) Move the decimal to the left one place and subtract the number to the left of the decimal: 93.5 - 9 Total = 84.5 Real Total = 85 150 pounds / 2 = 75 - 7 = 68 Real Total = 68 116 pounds / 2 = 58 - 5 = 53 Real Total = 52.7
4.5 kg. You can check that by applying the same process. Thus, 4.5×2 = 9, and then 10% of 9 is 0.9. So you now have which 9 + 0.9 = 9.9 pounds, so 4.5 kg is approximately 10 pounds.
As a former high school math and physics teacher, I would be fine with that as the metric system makes far more sense. To be fair to pounds, however, it’s also fairly idiotic that the lifting world measures weight in kilograms as that’s not correct either. At least measuring weight in pounds is correct in the sense of units, even if it is a silly measuring system.
Are you talking about the 85 kg example? You’re close, but remember to add 17 (since 17 is 10% of 170), not 7. It’s 187 if you use the shortcut (or about 187.39 if you do a more precise conversion).

(180-(180/11))/2=(180-16)/2=164/2=82 82*2+(10% of 164)=180,4
thank you soooo much! (:

Thank you so much very easy and understandable
Glad it helped, and you're welcome!
life saver for my interperating rates assignment, thank you
You’re very welcome!
Love it! Thanks! Do you have anything like this for centimeters to inches?
It’s high time The States moved to using modern unit measurements like kilometre and kilogram instead of mile and pound (lb)

Please three minutes there’s nothing.
huh?
Let me help: “Please. Three minutes? That’s nothing!” Is what I think they meant to say
Excellent!!!
Thanks!
Is it the same for pounds to kilograms? Or do you have a video for that
Hi i want to know how to convert pounds to kilogram can you teach me the easy way
Brilliant! Thanks a bunch!!!!
You're welcome!
Got it.. I never have to worry about this whenever I see kilograms again...thanks.
Glad to help!
Thank you that was amazing!!
Thanks for the kind words, and you're welcome!
Omg keep going please!
Awesome man
Thanks very much - glad you liked it!
Thank you !!!!

Thank you
You're welcome!
This is my kinda math. Thank you!
Glad to hear it, and you're welcome!
The equivalent for converting pounds to kilograms is to divide by 2 and then subtract an eleventh (1/11) from it.
Im so glad i found this man to help , keep up the good content
Glad to help, and thanks for the kind words!
what was that for the other way round
That’s the way it’s done! Simple and to the point. Question. Why do people complicate this process? My goodness. Great piece. Semper Fi
Thanks very much!
Yay! Thank you.💖
You’re welcome!
😊thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you.
You're welcome.
HELL YEAH, thanks
You’re welcome!
Thank you sir for your lecturing. In my opinion your tip is the easiest way to solve kg to lbs.
Thank you again. You're the best👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’m glad this was useful, and thanks for the kind words!
and THAT, is how you teach kids and keep their interest. Thanks!

uhmmmm, I LOVE U, I LOVE U!!! Holy moly, bruh, thank you!!! u have literally saved me so much time... , Thank you, thats all i can say!!!
You’re very welcome - glad this was helpful to you!
@@TestifySC And of course u can do it in reverse.. i have to do both everyday and in this last week its become second nature...
thanks for this man.. helps when I'm watchin NARCOS on Netflix. 👍🏻
Glad to help :-)
that was fast and easy, thank you
You’re very welcome!
Oh my goodness I have been crying due to this and you just made is so simple for me to grasp, thank you, but will it always be 10% of that number?
Glad to help, and yes, the process is always double the number and then add 10% of the new number.
You have a new subscriber!! 👋🏾
That's great, and thank you!
Whoa... That worked.😂 thanks
Glad it helped, and you’re welcome!
nice hack 💪
Thanks!

Would this work with a small number like 2.082🌚

Yea it's fast and easy but,what if we've decimal numbers in kilograms?
Why change from pounds to kilograms? I don't get it and here in America?
In this video, we cover how to change from kilograms to pounds. As for changing from pounds to kilograms like you mentioned, there's not a good shortcut for that.
Thank!!!!!! I hate watching the nature channel. Can never understand the weight.
You're very welcome - glad this helps!
Gotcha
Excellent
Wow my problem 👍 slove
Glad it was useful!
Ok le. Nak uji juga. 😂😂😂 0.42 kg satu pound?
I did it! Tysm
You’re very welcome!
Thanks, you are an absolutely chad
Glad to help!
Can you do one the other way around cuz all I see is arrogant Americans saying everything in pounds

@@TestifySC I had the same question in mind, thanks for the clarification
You’re very welcome.

Take the pounds: 187
Divide it by 2 = 93.5 (In your head divide the 18 first - then the 7)
Move the decimal to the left one place and subtract the number to the left of the decimal: 93.5 - 9
Total = 84.5
Real Total = 85
150 pounds / 2 = 75 - 7 = 68
Real Total = 68
116 pounds / 2 = 58 - 5 = 53
Real Total = 52.7
Ain’t nobody got time for that😂 oh you know me too well!
11.7
😊👍
Awesome😅
Thanks very much!
Ok 10 pound how much kg
4.5 kg. You can check that by applying the same process. Thus, 4.5×2 = 9, and then 10% of 9 is 0.9. So you now have which 9 + 0.9 = 9.9 pounds, so 4.5 kg is approximately 10 pounds.

I don't understand it still
Which part is causing trouble?
I did math and that’s over three or four thousand pounds bro
It’s time to get rid of pounds

🎶Double and 10 yeah!
I need to hear this in person :-)
@@TestifySC ok but something tells me you could come up with something funky!
@@judyhahn5786 I'll have to work on that :-)
I think its 177 pounds.

There's two types of countries: those that use the metric system, and those that put a man on the moon.
Ha!
NASA uses the metric system, and did so for the moon landings
@@isitsustainable820 this is wrong. And been proven over and over.
Some math for americans
Yep - as a former math and physics teacher, I certainly wish we used the metric system.
Thank you.
