Convert last to pound

Learn how to convert 1 last to pound step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (l a s t) = x (p o u n d)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(k i l o g r a m)

Left side: 1.0 (l a s t) = 1981.29147216 (k i l o g r a m) = 1981.29147216 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (p o u n d) = 0.45359237 (k i l o g r a m) = 0.45359237 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (l a s t) = x (p o u n d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1981.29147216 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 0.45359237 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1981.29147216 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 0.45359237 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1981.29147216 \cdot (k g) = x \times 0.45359237 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

1981.29147216 = x \times 0.45359237

Switch sides

x \times 0.45359237 = 1981.29147216

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.45359237})

x \times 0.45359237 \times \frac{1.0}{0.45359237} = 1981.29147216 \times \frac{1.0}{0.45359237}

Cancel

x \times 0.45359237 \times \frac{1.0}{0.45359237} = 1981.29147216 \times \frac{1.0}{0.45359237}

Simplify

x = \frac{1981.29147216}{0.45359237}

Solve

x

x = 4368 = 4.368 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l a s t) = 4.368 \times 10^{3} (p o u n d)
