A pound in this scenario is a unit of weight, a special case of force caused by the acceleration due to gravity acting upon some mass. A kilogram is a unit of mass, something entirely different from weight.

Near sea level on Earth, we can call the material sufficient to cause one pound of force (lbf), a poundmass (lbm).

1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds

conversely

1 pound = 0.454 kg

So 1/3 lbm = 0.454 kg X 1/3 = 0.151 kilogram
