Convert sack to firkin

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (s a c k) = x (f i r k i n)

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) = 42.63768278 (k i l o g r a m) = 42.63768278 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (f i r k i n) = 25.40117272 (k i l o g r a m) = 25.40117272 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (s a c k) = x (f i r k i n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 42.63768278 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 25.40117272 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 42.63768278 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 25.40117272 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 42.63768278 \cdot (k g) = x \times 25.40117272 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

42.63768278 = x \times 25.40117272

Switch sides

x \times 25.40117272 = 42.63768278

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{25.40117272})

x \times 25.40117272 \times \frac{1.0}{25.40117272} = 42.63768278 \times \frac{1.0}{25.40117272}

Cancel

x \times 25.40117272 \times \frac{1.0}{25.40117272} = 42.63768278 \times \frac{1.0}{25.40117272}

Simplify

x = \frac{42.63768278}{25.40117272}

Solve

x

x \approx 1.6785714286 \approx 1.6786

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s a c k) \approx 1.6786 (f i r k i n)
