Convert large calorie to watt • hour

Learn how to convert 1 large calorie to watt • hour step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (l a r g e c a l o r i e) = x (w a t t \times h o u r)

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

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (l a r g e c a l o r i e) = 4186.8 (j o u l e) = 4186.8 (J)

Right side: 1.0 (w a t t \times h o u r) = 3.6 \times 10^{3} (j o u l e) = 3.6 \times 10^{3} (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (l a r g e c a l o r i e) = x (w a t t \times h o u r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4186.8 \times (j o u l e) = x \times 3.6 \times 10^{3} \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4186.8 \cdot (J) = x \cdot 3.6 \times 10^{3} \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4186.8 \cdot (J) = x \times 3.6 \times 10^{3} \times (J)

Conversion Equation

4186.8 = x \times 3.6 \times 10^{3}

Switch sides

x \times 3.6 \times 10^{3} = 4186.8

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}})

x \times 3.6 \times 10^{3} \times \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = 4186.8 \times \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Cancel

x \times 3.6 \times 10^{3} \times \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = 4186.8 \times \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Simplify

x = \frac{4186.8}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{3}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 3} \times 4186.8}{3.6}

Solve

x

x = 1.163

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l a r g e c a l o r i e) = 1.163 (w a t t \times h o u r)
