How many kilos is a pound?
A pound is 0.45359237 kilograms, a shade under half a kilo. The other way, a kilogram is 2.2 pounds, which makes mental arithmetic easy: double the kilos and add a tenth. So 70 kilos is roughly 154 pounds.
Is an ounce always the same?
The mass ounce is 28.35 grams, but a fluid ounce is a unit of volume and an entirely different thing — and it differs between the US and the UK as well. When reading a recipe, check whether weight or volume is meant; this converter handles mass.
