The correct answer is:
$83\text{ kg}\approx182.98\text{ lb}\approx13\text{ st }0.98\text{ lb}$

Explanation

We convert kilograms to pounds using $1\text{ kg}=2.20462262185\text{ lb}$, then convert pounds to stones using $1\text{ st}=14\text{ lb}$.

Steps:

  1. Convert kg → lb:

$83\text{ kg}\times2.20462262185\frac{\text{lb}}{\text{kg}}=182.98367761355\text{ lb}\approx182.98\text{ lb}$

  1. Convert lb → st + lb:

Total stones $= \dfrac{182.98367761355\text{ lb}}{14\text{ lb/st}}=13.07026268668\text{ st}$
Integer stones $=13\text{ st}$, remainder in pounds $=182.98367761355-13\times14=0.98367761355\text{ lb}\approx0.98\text{ lb}$

Therefore, 83 kg ≈ 182.98 lb, which is 13 st 0.98 lb (you can round the pound remainder to 1 lb and say 13 st 1 lb).
