Convert US Dollar / lb to Canadian Dollar / kg

Question

I can find exchange rate conversions and lbs to kgs. How can I convert USD/LB to CAD/KG? What is the formula? Specifically, I have $1.61 / lb and I need to know what that is in CAD/KG.

Thanks!

Answer 1

If the exchange rate is $a$ CAD/USD, and you have $b$ lbs/kg, then $$Y\left[\frac{CAD}{kg}\right]=X\left[\frac{USD}{lbs}\right]a\left[\frac{CAD}{USD}\right]b\left[\frac{lbs}{kg}\right]$$

Alternatively, you can just google "USD/lbs to CAD/kg"

Answer 2

There are 0.76 Canadian dollars per U.S. dollar (I had to look that up) and 2.2 pounds per kg. (I was pretty sure of that but looked it up anyway).

So one Us Dollar/pound= (one US Dollar/pound)* (2.2 pound/kg)(0.75 Canadian Dollars/US Dollar)= (2.2)(0.75) Canadian Dollars/kg= 1.65 Canadian Dollars per kilogram.

Answer 3

The money change rate is not something fixed so you need to check it on Google or elsewhere. For the formula lbs <-> kg you have:

1 pound = 0.4535924 kilograms

That means 1 dollar / lb = 1 dollar / 0.4535924 kg

if 1 US dollar = R CA dollar then

X USD / lb = X*R/0.4535924 CAD
