Convert international unit to assay ton

Learn how to convert 1 international unit to assay ton step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (i n t e r n a t i o n a l u n i t) = x (a s s a y t o n)

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 (i n t e r n a t i o n a l u n i t) = \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} (k i l o g r a m) = \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (a s s a y t o n) = \frac{49.0}{1.5 \times 10^{3}} (k i l o g r a m) = \frac{49.0}{1.5 \times 10^{3}} (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (i n t e r n a t i o n a l u n i t) = x (a s s a y t o n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times \frac{49.0}{1.5 \times 10^{3}} \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} \cdot (k g) = x \cdot \frac{49.0}{1.5 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} \cdot (k g) = x \times \frac{49.0}{1.5 \times 10^{3}} \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

\frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} = x \times \frac{49.0}{1.5 \times 10^{3}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{49.0}{1.5 \times 10^{3}} = \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.5 \times 10^{3}}{49.0})

x \times \frac{49.0}{1.5 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{1.5 \times 10^{3}}{49.0} = \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} \times \frac{1.5 \times 10^{3}}{49.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{49.0 \times 1.5 \times 10^{3}}{1.5 \times 10^{3} \times 49.0} = \frac{{10^{- 6}}^{10^{- 3}} \times 1.5 \times 10^{3}}{660.0 \times 49.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 3} \times 1.5}{660.0 \times 49.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000000464 \approx 4.6382 \times 10^{- 8}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (i n t e r n a t i o n a l u n i t) \approx 4.6382 \times 10^{- 8} (a s s a y t o n)
