Explanation:

Step1: Recall lb to kg conversion

Use $1\ \text{lb} \approx 0.453592\ \text{kg}$

Step2: Multiply by conversion factor

$$12\ \frac{\text{lb}}{\text{min}} \times 0.453592\ \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{lb}}$$

Step3: Calculate the result

$$12 \times 0.453592 \approx 5.4431$$

Answer:

$5.44$ (or $\approx 5.4$ / $\approx 5$ depending on rounding; the precise calculated value is $\approx 5.44$ kg/min)
