Convert calorie / second to calorie / second

Learn how to convert 1 calorie / second to calorie / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d})

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

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d}) = 4.1868 (w a t t) = 4.1868 (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d}) = 4.184 (w a t t) = 4.184 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.1868 \times (w a t t) = x \times 4.184 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.1868 \cdot (W) = x \cdot 4.184 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.1868 \cdot (W) = x \times 4.184 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

4.1868 = x \times 4.184

Switch sides

x \times 4.184 = 4.1868

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.184})

x \times 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184} = 4.1868 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184}

Cancel

x \times 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184} = 4.1868 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.1868}{4.184}

Solve

x

x \approx 1.0006692161 \approx 1.0007

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d}) \approx 1.0007 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d})
