Answer:

about 159 pounds

Explanation:

The exact conversion factor from kilograms to pounds is ...

1 lb = 0.45359237 kg

So, to find the number of pounds, you multiply:


72\text{ kg}*\frac{1\text{ lb}}{0.45359237\text{ kg}}\approx\boxed{158.7328\text{ lb}}

The conversion is often approximated by 1 kg = 2.2 lb, which gives an answer that is about 0.21% low.
