Convert fifth to drop

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f i f t h) = x (d r o p)

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 (f i f t h) = 7.570823568 \times 10^{- 4} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 7.570823568 \times 10^{- 4} (m^{3})

Right 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})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f i f t h) = x (d r o p)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 7.570823568 \times 10^{- 4} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 8} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 7.570823568 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 8} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 7.570823568 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 8} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

7.570823568 \times 10^{- 4} = x \times 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 8}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

7.570823568 \times 10^{- 4} = x \times 7.78866844846491 \times {10^{- 8}}^{10^{- 4}}

Simplify

7.570823568 = x \times 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 4}

Switch sides

x \times 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 4} = 7.570823568

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 4}})

x \times 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 4} \times \frac{1.0}{7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 4}} = 7.570823568 \times \frac{1.0}{7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 4}}

Cancel

x \times 7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 4} \times \frac{1.0}{7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 4}} = 7.570823568 \times \frac{1.0}{7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 4}}

Simplify

x = \frac{7.570823568}{7.78866844846491 \times 10^{- 4}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 4}} can be rewritten to 10^{4}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{4} \times 7.570823568}{7.78866844846491}

Solve

x

x \approx 9720.3053617 \approx 9.7203 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f i f t h) \approx 9.7203 \times 10^{3} (d r o p)
