Convert liang(市兩) to dram

Learn how to convert 1 liang(市兩) to dram step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (l i a n g (市 兩)) = x (d r a m)

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 i a n g (市 兩)) = 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} (k i l o g r a m) = 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (d r a m) = 1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 3} (k i l o g r a m) = 1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 3} (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (l i a n g (市 兩)) = x (d r a m)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 3} \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (k g) = x \times 1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 3} \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

5.0 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 3}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

5.0 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 1.7718451953125 \times {10^{- 3}}^{10^{- 1}}

Simplify

5.0 = x \times 1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 1}

Switch sides

x \times 1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 1} = 5.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 1}})

x \times 1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 1}} = 5.0 \times \frac{1.0}{1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 1}}

Cancel

x \times 1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 1}} = 5.0 \times \frac{1.0}{1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 1}}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0}{1.7718451953125 \times 10^{- 1}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 1}} can be rewritten to 10

Rewrite

x = \frac{10.0 \times 5.0}{1.7718451953125}

Solve

x

x \approx 28.21916956 \approx 28.2192

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l i a n g (市 兩)) \approx 28.2192 (d r a m)
