Solution Steps

Solution Approach

To convert kilograms to pounds, we use the conversion factor where 1 kilogram is approximately equal to 2.20462 pounds. We multiply the given weight in kilograms by this conversion factor to get the weight in pounds.

Step 1: Conversion Factor

To convert kilograms to pounds, we use the conversion factor: \[ 1 \, \text{kg} \approx 2.20462 \, \text{lb} \]

Step 2: Calculate Weight in Pounds

Given the weight $ 42 \, \text{kg} $, we calculate the weight in pounds as follows: \[ \text{Weight in lb} = 42 \, \text{kg} \times 2.20462 \, \text{lb/kg} \approx 92.5940 \, \text{lb} \]

Step 3: Round the Result

Rounding $ 92.5940 $ to four significant digits gives us $ 92.59 \, \text{lb} $.
