How to Convert Kilograms to Long Tons
Example: How many Long tons are equivalent to 17.25 kilograms?
As;
1 kilograms = 0.000984207 Long tons
17.25 kilograms = Y Long tons
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 17.25 times 0.000984207 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 17.25 * 0.000984207 / 1 = 0.01697757075 Long tons
Answer is: 0.01697757075 Long tons are equivalent to 17.25 kilograms.
