Convert point to dram

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p o i n t) = 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 (p o i n t) = 2.0 \times 10^{- 6} (k i l o g r a m) = 2.0 \times 10^{- 6} (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (d r a m) = 3.41 \times 10^{- 3} (k i l o g r a m) = 3.41 \times 10^{- 3} (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p o i n t) = x (d r a m)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.0 \times 10^{- 6} \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 3.41 \times 10^{- 3} \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.0 \times 10^{- 6} \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 3.41 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.0 \times 10^{- 6} \cdot (k g) = x \times 3.41 \times 10^{- 3} \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

2.0 \times 10^{- 6} = x \times 3.41 \times 10^{- 3}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

2.0 \times {10^{- 6}}^{10^{- 3}} = x \times 3.41 \times 10^{- 3}

Simplify

2.0 \times 10^{- 3} = x \times 3.41

Switch sides

x \times 3.41 = 2.0 \times 10^{- 3}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{3.41})

x \times 3.41 \times \frac{1.0}{3.41} = 2.0 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{3.41}

Cancel

x \times 3.41 \times \frac{1.0}{3.41} = 2.0 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{3.41}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.0 \times 10^{- 3}}{3.41}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0005865103 \approx 5.8651 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o i n t) \approx 5.8651 \times 10^{- 4} (d r a m)
