Convert drop to minim

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (d r o p) = x (m i n i 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 (m i n i m) = 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 8} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 8} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (d r o p) = x (m i n i 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 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 8} \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 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 8} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 5.0 \times 10^{- 8} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 8} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

5.0 \times 10^{- 8} = x \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 8}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

5.0 \times 10^{- 8} = x \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 8}

Simplify

5.0 = x \times 5.91938802083333

Switch sides

x \times 5.91938802083333 = 5.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{5.91938802083333})

x \times 5.91938802083333 \times \frac{1.0}{5.91938802083333} = 5.0 \times \frac{1.0}{5.91938802083333}

Cancel

x \times 5.91938802083333 \times \frac{1.0}{5.91938802083333} = 5.0 \times \frac{1.0}{5.91938802083333}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0}{5.91938802083333}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.8446819135 \approx 8.4468 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (d r o p) \approx 8.4468 \times 10^{- 1} (m i n i m)
