Learn how to convert 1 dash to drop step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (d a s h) = x (d r o p)

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

(c u b i c m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (d a s h) = 3.08057599609375 \times 10^{- 7} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 3.08057599609375 \times 10^{- 7} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (d r o p) = 8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 8} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 8} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (d a s h) = x (d r o p)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 3.08057599609375 \times 10^{- 7} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 8} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 3.08057599609375 \times 10^{- 7} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 8} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 3.08057599609375 \times 10^{- 7} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 8} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

3.08057599609375 \times 10^{- 7} = x \times 8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 8}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

3.08057599609375 \times 10^{- 7} = x \times 8.21486932291667 \times {10^{- 8}}^{10^{- 1}}

Simplify

3.08057599609375 = x \times 8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 1}

Switch sides

x \times 8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 1} = 3.08057599609375

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 1}})

x \times 8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 1}} = 3.08057599609375 \times \frac{1.0}{8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 1}}

Cancel

x \times 8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 1}} = 3.08057599609375 \times \frac{1.0}{8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 1}}

Simplify

x = \frac{3.08057599609375}{8.21486932291667 \times 10^{- 1}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 1}} can be rewritten to 10

Rewrite

x = \frac{10.0 \times 3.08057599609375}{8.21486932291667}

Solve
