Convert ounce to hundredweight

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (o u n c e) = 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 (o u n c e) = 0.1 (k i l o g r a m) = 0.1 (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 (o u n c e) = x (h u n d r e d w e i g h t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.1 \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 0.1 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 45.359237 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.1 \cdot (k g) = x \times 45.359237 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

0.1 = x \times 45.359237

Switch sides

x \times 45.359237 = 0.1

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{45.359237})

x \times 45.359237 \times \frac{1.0}{45.359237} = 0.1 \times \frac{1.0}{45.359237}

Cancel

x \times 45.359237 \times \frac{1.0}{45.359237} = 0.1 \times \frac{1.0}{45.359237}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.1}{45.359237}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0022046226 \approx 2.2046 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (o u n c e) \approx 2.2046 \times 10^{- 3} (h u n d r e d w e i g h t)
