I think you have this wrong. 2.2 pounds to a kilo. I checked

  One kg is less than a pound. 1 pound is the same as 2.21 kg.

  Or you can multiply the number of kg you have by 0.45 to get pounds.

  Aren't conversions fun? Drives me crazy. I always have to have someone =
double check my math, and even then, I'm not always really positive I got i=
