Often in quantitative questions you are asked to convert kilos to pounds lets take a look on how to convert from one unit to another

46 kilos into pounds:

Step one, multiply the kilos by TWO.
To do this, just double the kilos.

46 x 2 = 92

Step two, divide the answer by ten.
To do this, just put a decimal point one place in from the right.

92 / 10 = 9.2

Step three, add step two’s answer to step one’s answer.

92 + 9.2 = 101.2

46 Kilos = 101.2 pounds


Let us try with different digits now:

50 Kilos to pounds:

Step one, multiply the kilos by TWO.
To do this, just double the kilos.

50 x 2 = 100

Step two, divide the answer by ten.
To do this, just put a decimal point one place in from the right.

100/10 = 10

Step three, add step two’s answer to step one’s answer.

100 + 10 = 110

50 Kilos = 110 pounds is the answer
