Convert drop to barrel

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (d r o p) = x (b a r r e l)

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 r o p) = 5.0 \times 10^{- 8} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 5.0 \times 10^{- 8} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (b a r r e l) = 0.16365924 (c u b i c m e t e r) = 0.16365924 (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (d r o p) = x (b a r r e l)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 5.0 \times 10^{- 8} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 0.16365924 \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 5.0 \times 10^{- 8} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 0.16365924 \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 5.0 \times 10^{- 8} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 0.16365924 \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

5.0 \times 10^{- 8} = x \times 0.16365924

Switch sides

x \times 0.16365924 = 5.0 \times 10^{- 8}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.16365924})

x \times 0.16365924 \times \frac{1.0}{0.16365924} = 5.0 \times 10^{- 8} \times \frac{1.0}{0.16365924}

Cancel

x \times 0.16365924 \times \frac{1.0}{0.16365924} = 5.0 \times 10^{- 8} \times \frac{1.0}{0.16365924}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0 \times 10^{- 8}}{0.16365924}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000003055 \approx 3.0551 \times 10^{- 7}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (d r o p) \approx 3.0551 \times 10^{- 7} (b a r r e l)
