Convert quarter to slug

Learn how to convert 1 quarter to slug step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (q u a r t e r) = x (s l u g)

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 (q u a r t e r) = 254.0117272 (k i l o g r a m) = 254.0117272 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (s l u g) = 14.5920665429 (k i l o g r a m) = 14.5920665429 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (q u a r t e r) = x (s l u g)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 254.0117272 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 14.5920665429 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 254.0117272 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 14.5920665429 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 254.0117272 \cdot (k g) = x \times 14.5920665429 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

254.0117272 = x \times 14.5920665429

Switch sides

x \times 14.5920665429 = 254.0117272

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{14.5920665429})

x \times 14.5920665429 \times \frac{1.0}{14.5920665429} = 254.0117272 \times \frac{1.0}{14.5920665429}

Cancel

x \times 14.5920665429 \times \frac{1.0}{14.5920665429} = 254.0117272 \times \frac{1.0}{14.5920665429}

Simplify

x = \frac{254.0117272}{14.5920665429}

Solve
