Convert sack to kip

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (s a c k) = x (k i p)

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 (k i p) = 453.59237 (k i l o g r a m) = 453.59237 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (s a c k) = x (k i p)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 39.689332375 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 453.59237 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 39.689332375 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 453.59237 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 39.689332375 \cdot (k g) = x \times 453.59237 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

39.689332375 = x \times 453.59237

Switch sides

x \times 453.59237 = 39.689332375

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{453.59237})

x \times 453.59237 \times \frac{1.0}{453.59237} = 39.689332375 \times \frac{1.0}{453.59237}

Cancel

x \times 453.59237 \times \frac{1.0}{453.59237} = 39.689332375 \times \frac{1.0}{453.59237}

Simplify

x = \frac{39.689332375}{453.59237}

Solve

x

x = 0.0875 = 8.75 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s a c k) = 8.75 \times 10^{- 2} (k i p)
