Convert hundredweight to tonne

Learn how to convert 1 hundredweight to tonne 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 (t o n n e)

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) = 45.359237 (k i l o g r a m) = 45.359237 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (t o n n e) = 1016.0469088 (k i l o g r a m) = 1016.0469088 (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 (t o n n e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 45.359237 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 1016.0469088 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 45.359237 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 1016.0469088 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 45.359237 \cdot (k g) = x \times 1016.0469088 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

45.359237 = x \times 1016.0469088

Switch sides

x \times 1016.0469088 = 45.359237

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1016.0469088})

x \times 1016.0469088 \times \frac{1.0}{1016.0469088} = 45.359237 \times \frac{1.0}{1016.0469088}

Cancel

x \times 1016.0469088 \times \frac{1.0}{1016.0469088} = 45.359237 \times \frac{1.0}{1016.0469088}

Simplify

x = \frac{45.359237}{1016.0469088}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0446428571 \approx 4.4643 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (h u n d r e d w e i g h t) \approx 4.4643 \times 10^{- 2} (t o n n e)
