Convert hundredweight to last

Learn how to convert 1 hundredweight to last step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (h u n d r e d w e i g h t) = x (l a s t)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(k i l o g r a m)

Left side: 1.0 (h u n d r e d w e i g h t) = 50.80234544 (k i l o g r a m) = 50.80234544 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (l a s t) = 1981.29147216 (k i l o g r a m) = 1981.29147216 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (h u n d r e d w e i g h t) = x (l a s t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 50.80234544 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 1981.29147216 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 50.80234544 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 1981.29147216 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 50.80234544 \cdot (k g) = x \times 1981.29147216 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

50.80234544 = x \times 1981.29147216

Switch sides

x \times 1981.29147216 = 50.80234544

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1981.29147216})

x \times 1981.29147216 \times \frac{1.0}{1981.29147216} = 50.80234544 \times \frac{1.0}{1981.29147216}

Cancel

x \times 1981.29147216 \times \frac{1.0}{1981.29147216} = 50.80234544 \times \frac{1.0}{1981.29147216}

Simplify

x = \frac{50.80234544}{1981.29147216}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0256410256 \approx 2.5641 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (h u n d r e d w e i g h t) \approx 2.5641 \times 10^{- 2} (l a s t)
