Does anyone know how much 130kilos means in pounds ?
130 kilos * 2.2 pounds/kilo = 260 pounds.
130 * 2.2 = 286
For your future reference:
130*2.2=286
Intriguing mathematics there.
130 Kilograms equals 286.601 Pounds
http://www.sciencemadesimple.com/conversions.html is a good tool to use for all your conversions.
Why the exclamation marks, by the way? Most of the world uses the metric system, it’s not such a terrible thing. 
It should be pointed out that Kilograms are a unit of mass and Pounds are properly a unit of force. The 2.2 conversion is only appropriate in a 1g enviroment. (A kilogram on the moon still has the same mass, but the weight {force} is going to be less.)
Just to make the lives of dynamics students difficult, Pounds are sometimes used as a unit of mass. Somes called “pounds mass” or I think “poundels”. Forget all the factor of 10 stuff, the real strength of the metric system is that you can figure out when the wors problem is referring to mass, and when it is referring to force (IMHO).

(The “proper” unit if mass is the slug, but isn’t used much)
Also, you can use google for unit conversions. just enter “130 kilograms in pounds” and hist search

you can even do “speed of light in furlongs per fortnight”

I don’t know about “dynamics students”, but we Engineers use “lbm” and “lbf” (pound mass and pound force, respectively) every day.
The only slugs I’ve seen in the last 5 years were on my parsnips.
Can’t we just be boring and pretend that 99.9999% of people use them for weighing things? :dubious:
Ewwww! You grow parsnips?
Never thought I would feel sorry for slugs.

Since the OP’s question was answered by the first poster to come along, is it now permissable to hijack this thread for a head-to-head between engineers and dynamics students (who they) on the relative merits of “vegetables-that-you-were-forced-to-eat-as-a-kid?”
Arg! My finger slipped on the calculator. Of course 130 kilos=286 pounds. Sheesh!
I am an Engineer (or at least my degree is in Engineering), but an electrical one–in general we didn’t care what resistors massed or wieghed. But we were required to take Statics, Dynamics, and Thermodynamics.* I distinctly remeber being happy when dynamics problems were metric because the non-metric ones were not always clear about pounds being lbf or lbm, you had to figure out by context (I think sometimes it was labeled). I honestly don’t remeber if slugs were used in problems or not, but the term was definitely mentioned.

*I think you could take “mechanics of materials” instead of thermo, and there may have been other options.
Fair enough, but do you like parsnips?
(:))
They probably just escaped from the ‘English Weight in Stones’ thread.
I always thought “pounds mass” was what would happen should I end up in prison. But I think it’s more properly “pounds m’ass”, and the perpetrators would be referred to as “poundels”. A great rock group would be “Wors Problem and The Poundels”, come to think of it.
Ah, makes sense now. Thanks!
I love them fried in the oven (like Fierra’s Mum did for me in Devonshire), but not boiled.
