Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{BTU}{cubic \text{ } foot}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{BTU}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(\dfrac{joule}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{BTU}{cubic \text{ } foot}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1055.05585262}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{-2}}\left(\dfrac{joule}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1055.05585262}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{-2}}\left(\dfrac{J}{m^{3}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{BTU}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1055.05585262\left(\dfrac{joule}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1055.05585262\left(\dfrac{J}{m^{3}}\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{BTU}{cubic \text{ } foot}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{BTU}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1055.05585262}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{-2}}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{joule}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1055.05585262}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{joule}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1055.05585262}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{-2}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{J}{m^{3}}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1055.05585262} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{J}{m^{3}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1055.05585262}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{-2}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{J}{m^{3}}\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1055.05585262} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{J}{m^{3}}\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(\dfrac{1055.05585262}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{-2}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 1055.05585262\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{1055.05585262}}}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{-2}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{1055.05585262}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(\dfrac{1.0}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{-2}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{1.0}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{-2}}\)
Rewrite equation
\(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{-2}}\text{ can be rewritten to }10^{2}\)
\(\text{Rewrite}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{10^{2}}{2.8316846592}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx35.314666721\approx35.3147\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{BTU}{cubic \text{ } foot}\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 35.3147}\left(\dfrac{BTU}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)\)
