Convert drop to tablespoon

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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) = 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 8} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 8} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (t a b l e s p o o n) = 1.5 \times 10^{- 5} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 1.5 \times 10^{- 5} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 8} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 1.5 \times 10^{- 5} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 8} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 1.5 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 8} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 1.5 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 8} = x \times 1.5 \times 10^{- 5}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

7.78866844846491 \times {10^{- 8}}^{10^{- 3}} = x \times 1.5 \times 10^{- 5}

Simplify

7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 3} = x \times 1.5

Switch sides

x \times 1.5 = 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 3}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.5})

x \times 1.5 \times \frac{1.0}{1.5} = 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{1.5}

Cancel

x \times 1.5 \times \frac{1.0}{1.5} = 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{1.5}

Simplify

x = \frac{7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 3}}{1.5}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0051924456 \approx 5.1924 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (d r o p) \approx 5.1924 \times 10^{- 3} (t a b l e s p o o n)
