I need some help please.

I weighed in this morning at 177.4lbs which converts to 12.67 stones. I put the lbs into wlr and it says 12 stone 9.4. What am a doing wrong?

Thanks

    12 x 14 = 168 + 9 = 177 + 0.4 = 177.4

    Your first conversion is incorrect.

    Thanks, I've changed my settings in wlr so that it's correct. I didn't want to start off on the wrong weight.

    I'm not sure what wlr is, but isn't that the one that said 177.4lb = 12st 9.4? That's the correct one. Your conversion to 12st 6.7 is the incorrect one.

    Both calculations are correct.
    0.67St = 67 tenths of a stone. To convert to lbs, multiply 14 (lbs in a stone) by 0.67.
    0.67*14 = 9.38lbs. :smile:
