Convert pound to clove

Learn how to convert 1 pound to clove step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p o u n d) = x (c l o v 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 (p o u n d) = 0.5 (k i l o g r a m) = 0.5 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (c l o v e) = 3.62873896 (k i l o g r a m) = 3.62873896 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p o u n d) = x (c l o v e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.5 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 3.62873896 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.5 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 3.62873896 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.5 \cdot (k g) = x \times 3.62873896 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

0.5 = x \times 3.62873896

Switch sides

x \times 3.62873896 = 0.5

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{3.62873896})

x \times 3.62873896 \times \frac{1.0}{3.62873896} = 0.5 \times \frac{1.0}{3.62873896}

Cancel

x \times 3.62873896 \times \frac{1.0}{3.62873896} = 0.5 \times \frac{1.0}{3.62873896}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.5}{3.62873896}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.1377889139 \approx 1.3779 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o u n d) \approx 1.3779 \times 10^{- 1} (c l o v e)
