    Found your channel a couple weeks back. I'm really good and quick at adding small and big numbers but when it came to percentage I was baffled unless it was easy (10, 20, 25, 33, 50% and so on) but since I've come across your channel everything is easy peasy. Thank you, Sir!!

    Great video, very easy to work out the difference between kilos and pounds. I do feel, though, that you just need to slow down a bit for the section on converting kilos to pounds. I had to watch the video twice over for that part to sink in. Otherwise very good.

  • @seanv4321
    @seanv4321 4 роки тому +2

    35 ×2 and then since we need to find the 0.2 pounds of the answer we can just go 35kg ÷10 ie 3.5 then times 2 for the full answer ie 70+7=77 lb

  • @Divio18
    @Divio18 Рік тому

    The diving by 11 seems overly complicated to me. 18 ÷ 2 = 9, just substract .9 = 8.1.
    86lbs to kg, 86/2 = 43 - ~4 = ~39lbs

  • @rockyourworld5374

    @tecmath
    Hey Josh.
    Why don't you multiply by 2 as per your example and then multiply by 11(you already did it with dividing) instead of trying to figure out a percentage. It's slow. look
    17kg x 2 = 34
    then use the 11 trick
    3 3+4 4 = 374 ÷ 10= 37.4 lbs.
    No muckin around with clumsy percentages.

      0.2 is 10% of 2 (the first part of the answer)

    I think the method is wrong for lbs to kg because when I do 33lb into kg I get 15 kg like the answer you got but when I do 15 kg into lbs I get 3lbs

  • @harrypimentel2247
    @harrypimentel2247 3 роки тому +2

    Faster way to convert pounds to kilograms is to divide the pounds by 2 and then subtract 10% ( pounds divide by 2).
    So 18 # divide by 2 = 9. 9 divide by 10 = 0.9. 9-0.9 = 8.1 kg.
