Convert last to hundredweight

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (l a s t) = x (h u n d r e d w e i g h 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 (l a s t) = 1814.36948 (k i l o g r a m) = 1814.36948 (k g)

Right 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)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1814.36948 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 45.359237 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1814.36948 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 45.359237 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1814.36948 \cdot (k g) = x \times 45.359237 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

1814.36948 = x \times 45.359237

Switch sides

x \times 45.359237 = 1814.36948

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{45.359237})

x \times 45.359237 \times \frac{1.0}{45.359237} = 1814.36948 \times \frac{1.0}{45.359237}

Cancel

x \times 45.359237 \times \frac{1.0}{45.359237} = 1814.36948 \times \frac{1.0}{45.359237}

Simplify

x = \frac{1814.36948}{45.359237}

Solve

x

x = 40

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l a s t) = 40 (h u n d r e d w e i g h t)
