Convert drop to dram

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (d r o p) = x (d r a m)

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 (d r a m) = 3.5516328125 \times 10^{- 6} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 3.5516328125 \times 10^{- 6} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (d r o p) = x (d r a m)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 5.0 \times 10^{- 8} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 3.5516328125 \times 10^{- 6} \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 3.5516328125 \times 10^{- 6} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 5.0 \times 10^{- 8} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 3.5516328125 \times 10^{- 6} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

5.0 \times 10^{- 8} = x \times 3.5516328125 \times 10^{- 6}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

5.0 \times {10^{- 8}}^{10^{- 2}} = x \times 3.5516328125 \times 10^{- 6}

Simplify

5.0 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 3.5516328125

Switch sides

x \times 3.5516328125 = 5.0 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{3.5516328125})

x \times 3.5516328125 \times \frac{1.0}{3.5516328125} = 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{3.5516328125}

Cancel

x \times 3.5516328125 \times \frac{1.0}{3.5516328125} = 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{3.5516328125}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.5516328125}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0140780319 \approx 1.4078 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (d r o p) \approx 1.4078 \times 10^{- 2} (d r a m)
