To convert 30 pounds to stone, we can use the conversion factor: 1 stone = 14 pounds.
So, to find out how many stone 30 pounds is, we can divide 30 by 14.
30 pounds ÷ 14 pounds/stone = 2.14 stone
Therefore, 30 pounds is equivalent to approximately 2 stone and 4 pounds, or more precisely, 2.14 stone.
Here’s a breakdown of the conversion for clarity:
- 1 stone = 14 pounds
- 2 stone = 28 pounds (since 2 * 14 = 28)
- The remaining weight after subtracting 2 stone (28 pounds) from 30 pounds is 30 - 28 = 2 pounds.
- Thus, 30 pounds = 2 stone and 2 pounds.
In terms of just stone and decimal points for precision, it remains as 2.14 stone, combining the whole number of stones with the fractional part representing the additional pounds converted to stone.
