Convert pail to liter

Learn how to convert 1 pail to liter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p a i l) = x (l i t e r)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(c u b i c m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (p a i l) = 2.9094976 \times 10^{- 1} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 2.9094976 \times 10^{- 1} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (l i t e r) = 10^{- 3} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 10^{- 3} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p a i l) = x (l i t e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.9094976 \times 10^{- 1} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 10^{- 3} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.9094976 \times 10^{- 1} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 10^{- 3} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.9094976 \times 10^{- 1} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 10^{- 3} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

2.9094976 \times 10^{- 1} = x \times 10^{- 3}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

2.9094976 \times 10^{- 1} = x \times {10^{- 3}}^{10^{- 2}}

Simplify

2.9094976 = x \times 10^{- 2}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{- 2} = 2.9094976

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}})

x \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} = 2.9094976 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} = 2.9094976 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.9094976}{10^{- 2}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} can be rewritten to 10^{2}

Rewrite

x = 10^{2} \times 2.9094976

Solve

x

x = 290.94976 \approx 2.9095 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p a i l) \approx 2.9095 \times 10^{2} (l i t e r)
