How to Convert Kilopounds to Long Tons
Example: How many Long tons are equivalent to 14.21 kilopounds?
As;
1 kilopounds = 0.44642867270722 Long tons
14.21 kilopounds = Y Long tons
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 14.21 times 0.44642867270722 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 14.21 * 0.44642867270722 / 1 = 6.3437514391696 Long tons
Answer is: 6.3437514391696 Long tons are equivalent to 14.21 kilopounds.
