Convert lambda to cup

Learn how to convert 1 lambda to cup step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (l a m b d a) = x (c u p)

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 (l a m b d a) = 10^{- 9} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 10^{- 9} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (c u p) = 2.5 \times 10^{- 4} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 2.5 \times 10^{- 4} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (l a m b d a) = x (c u p)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{- 9} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 2.5 \times 10^{- 4} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{- 9} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 2.5 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 10^{- 9} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 2.5 \times 10^{- 4} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

10^{- 9} = x \times 2.5 \times 10^{- 4}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

{10^{- 9}}^{10^{- 5}} = x \times 2.5 \times 10^{- 4}

Simplify

10^{- 5} = x \times 2.5

Switch sides

x \times 2.5 = 10^{- 5}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.5})

x \times 2.5 \times \frac{1.0}{2.5} = 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{2.5}

Cancel

x \times 2.5 \times \frac{1.0}{2.5} = 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{2.5}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 5}}{2.5}

Solve

x

x = 4 \times 10^{- 6}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l a m b d a) = 4 \times 10^{- 6} (c u p)
