Convert dram to quartern

Learn how to convert 1 dram to quartern step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (d r a m) = x (q u a r t e r n)

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 (d r a m) = 3.8879346 \times 10^{- 3} (k i l o g r a m) = 3.8879346 \times 10^{- 3} (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (q u a r t e r n) = 1.587573295 (k i l o g r a m) = 1.587573295 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (d r a m) = x (q u a r t e r n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 3.8879346 \times 10^{- 3} \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 1.587573295 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 3.8879346 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 1.587573295 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 3.8879346 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (k g) = x \times 1.587573295 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

3.8879346 \times 10^{- 3} = x \times 1.587573295

Switch sides

x \times 1.587573295 = 3.8879346 \times 10^{- 3}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.587573295})

x \times 1.587573295 \times \frac{1.0}{1.587573295} = 3.8879346 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{1.587573295}

Cancel

x \times 1.587573295 \times \frac{1.0}{1.587573295} = 3.8879346 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{1.587573295}

Simplify

x = \frac{3.8879346 \times 10^{- 3}}{1.587573295}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0024489796 \approx 2.449 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (d r a m) \approx 2.449 \times 10^{- 3} (q u a r t e r n)
