Convert pennyweight to slinch

Learn how to convert 1 pennyweight to slinch step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p e n n y w e i g h t) = x (s l i n c h)

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 (p e n n y w e i g h t) = 1.55517384 \times 10^{- 3} (k i l o g r a m) = 1.55517384 \times 10^{- 3} (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (s l i n c h) = 175.1268 (k i l o g r a m) = 175.1268 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p e n n y w e i g h t) = x (s l i n c h)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.55517384 \times 10^{- 3} \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 175.1268 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.55517384 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 175.1268 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.55517384 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (k g) = x \times 175.1268 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

1.55517384 \times 10^{- 3} = x \times 175.1268

Switch sides

x \times 175.1268 = 1.55517384 \times 10^{- 3}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{175.1268})

x \times 175.1268 \times \frac{1.0}{175.1268} = 1.55517384 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{175.1268}

Cancel

x \times 175.1268 \times \frac{1.0}{175.1268} = 1.55517384 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{175.1268}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.55517384 \times 10^{- 3}}{175.1268}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000088803 \approx 8.8803 \times 10^{- 6}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p e n n y w e i g h t) \approx 8.8803 \times 10^{- 6} (s l i n c h)
