Gram (abbreviation: gm): is a SI (metric) system unit of mass. Where, at the temperature of melting ice, it is the absolute weight of a volume equal to the hundredth part of a metre cube of pure water.
Kilopound (abbreviation: kips): is a unit of force, equivalent to 1000 pounds (lb) which is used in some systems of measurement including English Engineering units and the British Gravitational System. Also, it is a unit of mass used in the imperial, United States customary and other systems of measurement.
How to Convert Grams to Kilopounds
Example: How many kilopounds are equivalent to 90.48 grams?
As;
1 grams = 2.20462E-6 kilopounds
90.48 grams = Y kilopounds
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 90.48 times 2.20462E-6 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 90.48 * 2.20462E-6 / 1 = 0.0001994740176 kilopounds
Answer is: 0.0001994740176 kilopounds are equivalent to 90.48 grams.
