Convert quintal to pound

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (q u i n t a l) = x (p o u n d)

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 i n t a l) = 45.36 (k i l o g r a m) = 45.36 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (p o u n d) = 0.3732417216 (k i l o g r a m) = 0.3732417216 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (q u i n t a l) = x (p o u n d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 45.36 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 0.3732417216 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 45.36 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 0.3732417216 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 45.36 \cdot (k g) = x \times 0.3732417216 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

45.36 = x \times 0.3732417216

Switch sides

x \times 0.3732417216 = 45.36

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.3732417216})

x \times 0.3732417216 \times \frac{1.0}{0.3732417216} = 45.36 \times \frac{1.0}{0.3732417216}

Cancel

x \times 0.3732417216 \times \frac{1.0}{0.3732417216} = 45.36 \times \frac{1.0}{0.3732417216}

Simplify

x = \frac{45.36}{0.3732417216}

Solve

x

x \approx 121.52982203 \approx 1.2153 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (q u i n t a l) \approx 1.2153 \times 10^{2} (p o u n d)
