How to Convert Grams to Pounds
Example: How many pounds are equivalent to 72.18 grams?
As;
1 grams = 0.00220462 pounds
72.18 grams = Y pounds
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 72.18 times 0.00220462 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 72.18 * 0.00220462 / 1 = 0.1591294716 pounds
Answer is: 0.1591294716 pounds are equivalent to 72.18 grams.
