Convert hogshead to sack

Learn how to convert 1 hogshead to sack step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (h o g s h e a d) = x (s a c k)

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 (h o g s h e a d) = 3.2731848 \times 10^{- 1} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 3.2731848 \times 10^{- 1} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (s a c k) = 1.0571721050064 \times 10^{- 1} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 1.0571721050064 \times 10^{- 1} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (h o g s h e a d) = x (s a c k)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 3.2731848 \times 10^{- 1} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 1.0571721050064 \times 10^{- 1} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 3.2731848 \times 10^{- 1} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 1.0571721050064 \times 10^{- 1} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 3.2731848 \times 10^{- 1} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 1.0571721050064 \times 10^{- 1} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

3.2731848 \times 10^{- 1} = x \times 1.0571721050064 \times 10^{- 1}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

3.2731848 \times 10^{- 1} = x \times 1.0571721050064 \times 10^{- 1}

Simplify

3.2731848 = x \times 1.0571721050064

Switch sides

x \times 1.0571721050064 = 3.2731848

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.0571721050064})

x \times 1.0571721050064 \times \frac{1.0}{1.0571721050064} = 3.2731848 \times \frac{1.0}{1.0571721050064}

Cancel

x \times 1.0571721050064 \times \frac{1.0}{1.0571721050064} = 3.2731848 \times \frac{1.0}{1.0571721050064}

Simplify

x = \frac{3.2731848}{1.0571721050064}

Solve

x

x \approx 3.0961702305 \approx 3.0962

Conversion Equation

1.0 (h o g s h e a d) \approx 3.0962 (s a c k)
