Convert sack to dram

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (s a c k) = 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 (s a c k) = 39.689332375 (k i l o g r a m) = 39.689332375 (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 (s a c k) = x (d r a m)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 39.689332375 \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 39.689332375 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 3.41 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 39.689332375 \cdot (k g) = x \times 3.41 \times 10^{- 3} \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

39.689332375 = x \times 3.41 \times 10^{- 3}

Switch sides

x \times 3.41 \times 10^{- 3} = 39.689332375

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{3.41 \times 10^{- 3}})

x \times 3.41 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{3.41 \times 10^{- 3}} = 39.689332375 \times \frac{1.0}{3.41 \times 10^{- 3}}

Cancel

x \times 3.41 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{3.41 \times 10^{- 3}} = 39.689332375 \times \frac{1.0}{3.41 \times 10^{- 3}}

Simplify

x = \frac{39.689332375}{3.41 \times 10^{- 3}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 3}} can be rewritten to 10^{3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{3} \times 39.689332375}{3.41}

Solve

x

x \approx 11639.100403 \approx 1.1639 \times 10^{4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s a c k) \approx 1.1639 \times 10^{4} (d r a m)
