Here are two simple keys to the conversion. Commit these to memory.
1 kilogram = 2.2 lbs
The density of water is 1 gram/cm³.
Using these two pieces of information we can solve your problem.
5 lbs x 1 kg / 2.2 lbs = 2.273 kg
2.273 kg = 2273 g = 2273 cm³
Please note that the 1 g = 1 cm³ applies to water at 25° C. However it is reasonably close for most purposes at other temperatures.

one pound of water is 8.3 pounds
you have five pounds 5 divided by 8.3 equals .6024
.6024 converted to cm cubed is 2280

5 pounds is
5x1000/2.2 gms
i.e. 5000/ 2.2 gms
i.e. 5000/2.2 cc

Depends on the temperature. At 647K it is approximately 6833cc.
