Convert bag to hundredweight

Learn how to convert 1 bag to hundredweight step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (b a g) = x (h u n d r e d w e i g h t)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(k i l o g r a m)

Left side: 1.0 (b a g) = 42.63768278 (k i l o g r a m) = 42.63768278 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (h u n d r e d w e i g h t) = 50.80234544 (k i l o g r a m) = 50.80234544 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (b a g) = x (h u n d r e d w e i g h t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 42.63768278 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 50.80234544 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 42.63768278 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 50.80234544 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 42.63768278 \cdot (k g) = x \times 50.80234544 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

42.63768278 = x \times 50.80234544

Switch sides

x \times 50.80234544 = 42.63768278

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{50.80234544})

x \times 50.80234544 \times \frac{1.0}{50.80234544} = 42.63768278 \times \frac{1.0}{50.80234544}

Cancel

x \times 50.80234544 \times \frac{1.0}{50.80234544} = 42.63768278 \times \frac{1.0}{50.80234544}

Simplify

x = \frac{42.63768278}{50.80234544}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.8392857143 \approx 8.3929 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (b a g) \approx 8.3929 \times 10^{- 1} (h u n d r e d w e i g h t)
