Convert scruple to pound

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (s c r u p l e) = 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 (s c r u p l e) = 0.0012959782 (k i l o g r a m) = 0.0012959782 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (p o u n d) = 0.45359237 (k i l o g r a m) = 0.45359237 (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (s c r u p l e) = x (p o u n d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.0012959782 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 0.45359237 \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.0012959782 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 0.45359237 \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.0012959782 \cdot (k g) = x \times 0.45359237 \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

0.0012959782 = x \times 0.45359237

Switch sides

x \times 0.45359237 = 0.0012959782

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.45359237})

x \times 0.45359237 \times \frac{1.0}{0.45359237} = 0.0012959782 \times \frac{1.0}{0.45359237}

Cancel

x \times 0.45359237 \times \frac{1.0}{0.45359237} = 0.0012959782 \times \frac{1.0}{0.45359237}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.0012959782}{0.45359237}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0028571429 \approx 2.8571 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s c r u p l e) \approx 2.8571 \times 10^{- 3} (p o u n d)
