Answer 1

2 kilo 845 gramas

As far as I know, all Spanish speaking countries use the metric system. In fact the US is the only country that I know of that still uses imperial as its primary measuring system.

2.2. pounds in a kilogram. 28.35 grams in an ounce

Answer 2

A literal tranlation would be "6 libras y 3 onzas", but depending on what you need it to, it may be a good idea to put it in kilograms as Qfreed said. All Spanish speaking countries use "kilos".

Do they use the "y"? - 0074b507, Nov 7, 2011

I would use it to make it more clear, because it's not our usual system. - 00e657d4, Nov 7, 2011
