When you need to convert pound to stone

Weight and mass conversions matter for cooking, shipping, fitness tracking and travel, where a parcel, body weight or recipe amount may be labelled in a system you don't use day to day.

In the UK and Ireland body weight is often given in stones and pounds, which converters help translate to a single number.

Typical values: 0.5 lb is about 0.0357 st, and 100 lb works out to roughly 7.1429 st. Because the ratio is fixed at 0.0714, you can scale any amount linearly — doubling the pounds doubles the stones.

Bathroom scales, kitchen scales and shipping labels frequently mix metric and imperial, so converting cleanly avoids costly mistakes.
