1 pound is equal to 0.45 kilograms

To find how many kilograms are equivalent to 5.6 pounds, we can use the next proportion:


\frac{1\text{ lb}}{5.6\text{ lb}}=\frac{0.45\text{ kilograms}}{x\text{ kilograms}}

Solving for x,


\begin{gathered} 1\cdot x=0.45\cdot5.6 \\ x=2.52\text{ kilograms} \end{gathered}
