    Default How to format?

    Here is the code:

    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class Problem2 {
        public static void main (String []args){
     // Scanner
            Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
     
     // Declorations
            double kilograms = 1;
     
     
            System.out.println("Kilograms\tPounds");
     
    // For loop
          for (int i = 1; i <= 199; i += 2) {
     
     System.out.println(i + "                " + i * 2.2);
     
        }
     
    }
     
     }

    The answers give me two columns, but the problem is sometimes there are 10 zeros after the decimal so for the third answer it is 6.6000000000 etc. I just want to use one character after the decimal and I don't know how. I have tried the printf and using %d,f etc but that didn't work :/
