There is a way to convert Lb to kilos in your head and here's how
Take the Lb number divide by 2. Now take off the ones place of the answer. Take that number and subtract it from your divide by 2 answer. And you will have Kg. Example: 180lb / 2=90. 90-9=81 Kg. . Now if we do the math from this video on the same problem we have 81kg X2= 162lb. 162+16 =178. It's not perfect but to do it quickly in your head. This helps

The equivalent for converting pounds to kilograms is to divide by 2 and then subtract an eleventh (1/11) from it.
