Convert ounce to tonne

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (o u n c e) = x (t o n n e)

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

Right side: 1.0 (t o n n e) = 1016.0469088 (k i l o g r a m) = 1016.0469088 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (o u n c e) = x (t o n n e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 1016.0469088 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 1016.0469088 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (k g) = x \times 1016.0469088 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

5.0 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 1016.0469088

Switch sides

x \times 1016.0469088 = 5.0 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1016.0469088})

x \times 1016.0469088 \times \frac{1.0}{1016.0469088} = 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{1016.0469088}

Cancel

x \times 1016.0469088 \times \frac{1.0}{1016.0469088} = 5.0 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{1016.0469088}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0 \times 10^{- 2}}{1016.0469088}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000492103 \approx 4.921 \times 10^{- 5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (o u n c e) \approx 4.921 \times 10^{- 5} (t o n n e)
