Convert firkin to dram

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f i r k i n) = 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 (f i r k i n) = 3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (d r a m) = 3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 6} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 6} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f i r k i n) = x (d r a m)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 6} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 6} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 6} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 6}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 3.6966911953125 \times {10^{- 6}}^{10^{- 4}}

Simplify

3.4068706056 = x \times 3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 4}

Switch sides

x \times 3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 4} = 3.4068706056

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 4}})

x \times 3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 4} \times \frac{1.0}{3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 4}} = 3.4068706056 \times \frac{1.0}{3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 4}}

Cancel

x \times 3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 4} \times \frac{1.0}{3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 4}} = 3.4068706056 \times \frac{1.0}{3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 4}}

Simplify

x = \frac{3.4068706056}{3.6966911953125 \times 10^{- 4}}

Rewrite equation

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

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{4} \times 3.4068706056}{3.6966911953125}

Solve

x

x = 9216 = 9.216 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f i r k i n) = 9.216 \times 10^{3} (d r a m)
