1 kg = 2.2 pounds.
Therefore 60kg = 60*2.2 pounds which is 132 pounds.

Well, the easy answer is that 1 kg = 2.2 lbs. So, 60kg=132 lbs.
For anyone interested, here is the longer version: they are actually different measurements. Kilograms are actually a unit of mass, while pounds are a unit of weight. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains and the weight is the amount of attractive force between two objects. In othe words,
mass=amount of stuff
and
weight=amount of stuff in association to the amount of stuff that the bigger object is dragging on it
That's why an astronaut weighs less on our moon (which has less gravity) while he has the same mass. It's also why we talk about the mass of a planet as opposed to its weight.
Too technical, I know. Having a nerdly Sat night at home. :)
Go ahead and use the 2.2 lb/kg conversion. Cheers!
