Understanding the Conversion Factor
To convert pounds (lbs) to kilograms (kg), we use the following conversion factor:
  1lb=0.453592kg
This means that for every 1 pound, there is 0.453592 kilograms.
Apply the Conversion Formula
The general formula for converting pounds to kilograms is:
   kilograms=pounds×conversion factor
Now, substitute the given value of 35 pounds into the formula:
kilograms=35lbs×0.453592kg/lb
 Perform the Multiplication
Now, calculate the product:
35×0.453592=15.87572kg
So, the result is approximately 15.87572 kilograms.
 Rounding the Result
Since you typically don’t need excessive precision in everyday scenarios, we can round this value to two decimal places for simplicity:
  kilograms≈15.88kg
Final Answer:
