Knowing how to convert pounds to kilograms and vice versa is an important skill to know for providing care, especially when calculating drug dosages. 1 kg (kilogram) is equivalent to 2.2 lb (pounds). One helpful tip to remember this conversion is to know your own weight in both pounds and kilograms; the kilogram will always be a smaller number.
