Final answer:

To convert pounds to milligrams, multiply the pounds by 454,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert pounds to milligrams, you need to use the conversion factor between pounds and kilograms, and then convert kilograms to milligrams.

First, convert pounds to kilograms:

1 pound = 0.454 kilograms

Next, convert kilograms to milligrams:

1 kilogram = 1000 grams = 1,000,000 milligrams

Therefore, to convert pounds to milligrams, you multiply the given value in pounds by the conversion factor between pounds and kilograms, and then multiply the result by the conversion factor between kilograms and milligrams.

For example, if you have 1 pound:

1 pound * 0.454 kilograms/pound * 1,000,000 milligrams/kilogram = 454,000 milligrams
