How to convert stones to pounds
pounds = stone × 14
Example: 11 st × 14 = 154 lb.
Multiply the stones by 14. When a weight is written in stones and pounds, convert the stones first and then add the loose pounds: 9 st 8 lb is 9 × 14 = 126 pounds, plus 8 pounds, for a total of 134 pounds.
Halves and quarters are worth memorizing. Half a stone is 7 pounds, and a quarter stone is 3.5 pounds.
To go from pounds back to stones, divide instead, or use pounds to stones. The stone unit page has the full definition.
Why is 11.5 stone not 11 stone 5 pounds?
A decimal stone counts parts of a whole stone, not pounds. 11.5 stone is 161 pounds, which you would write as 11 st 7 lb, while 11 st 5 lb is 159 pounds.
The mix-up is easy to make when a weight is typed without units, such as "11 5" in a search box or a spreadsheet cell. Read the number after the space as pounds, and read a number with a decimal point as decimal stones.
Converting stones to pounds in your head
Split the multiplier into ten and four. For 13 stone, 13 × 10 = 130 and 13 × 4 = 52, and together they make 182 pounds.
Another route is to double the stones and multiply by seven, since half a stone is 7 pounds. Either way, add any loose pounds at the end, so 13 st 3 lb becomes 185 pounds.
