Pounds to kilos?

[windywillow]

Sorry this is probably not the right section, please could someone help me....I have been given a price of £2.20 for a 1lb bag of nuts and I need to know how much the nuts are per kilo. I have no idea how to work this out. :o(

Thanks for any replies.

1 pound = 0.45359237 kilograms

[dickythecook]

Times by 2.25

[windywillow]

Thank you OJ but I'm still baffled.

I'm too old for new-fangled measurements. :o(

[windywillow]

Thank you too Dicky.

[dickythecook]

2.20 x 2.25 =£4.95

[hc4361]

£4.95

[gingejbee]

£4.80 per kilo

[windywillow]

Fabulous, thanks very much.

[gingejbee]

since 1 kilo is 2.18 lb.

[dickythecook]

Windy, my old and very cheap mobile has a conversion prog on it. ibs to kilos and inches to cms. Have a look and see if yours has one. Sorry I am assuming that you have one. dtc)

[sunny-dave]

£2.20 x 1000 ÷ 454 = £4.85

1 kilo is actually just over 2.20 lb

[gingejbee]

...if you insist....

[sunny-dave]

I'm too polite to insist :+)

[windywillow]

I do have a mobile but it's very basic and the blooming thing is always out of battery because I forget to plug it in and charge it up.

Guess there's no hope for me really, old age is getting a grip. Thanks heaps to you guys (and girls) for coming to my assistance. What a great site this is. xxx

If it helps, a pound is half a kilo, for all everyday, practical, purposes e.g at a sweetshop or delicatessen counter. Indeed,the French still sometimes call 500gms a 'livre', literally a 'pound'. Old habits die hard; in their case, over 200 years!

[windywillow]

It does help, thanks Fred.

1 Kilo is 2.2lb.....2lb = £4.40 plus 1/5 of £2.20 =44p....1 Kilo = £4.84 Simples! (I went to Arley Herbert Fowler Secondry Modern school) (I put that in just in case Iv'e got it wrong)....

[dickythecook]

A pack of butter that used to weigh 8ozs now weighs 250gms. " 2 too the old lb if that helps any

[gingejbee]

Not really... because the 8 oz butter actually weighed 227 gm!

1kilo = 2.245 lbs
1lb = 452 grams ( 1000 grams in a kilo)
hope this helps
