Convert mite to dram

Learn how to convert 1 mite to dram step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (m i t e) = 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 (m i t e) = 5.0 \times 10^{- 5} (k i l o g r a m) = 5.0 \times 10^{- 5} (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (d r a m) = 4.37 \times 10^{- 3} (k i l o g r a m) = 4.37 \times 10^{- 3} (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (m i t e) = x (d r a m)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 5.0 \times 10^{- 5} \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 4.37 \times 10^{- 3} \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 5.0 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 4.37 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 5.0 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (k g) = x \times 4.37 \times 10^{- 3} \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

5.0 \times 10^{- 5} = x \times 4.37 \times 10^{- 3}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

5.0 \times {10^{- 5}}^{10^{- 2}} = x \times 4.37 \times 10^{- 3}

Simplify

5.0 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 4.37

Switch sides

x \times 4.37 = 5.0 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.37})

x \times 4.37 \times \frac{1.0}{4.37} = 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{4.37}

Cancel

x \times 4.37 \times \frac{1.0}{4.37} = 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{4.37}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0 \times 10^{- 2}}{4.37}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0114416476 \approx 1.1442 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (m i t e) \approx 1.1442 \times 10^{- 2} (d r a m)
