Convert shekel to dram

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (s h e k e l) = 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 h e k e l) = 1.632932532 \times 10^{- 2} (k i l o g r a m) = 1.632932532 \times 10^{- 2} (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (d r a m) = 4.37 \times 10^{- 3} (k i l o g r a m) = 4.37 \times 10^{- 3} (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (s h e k e l) = x (d r a m)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.632932532 \times 10^{- 2} \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 4.37 \times 10^{- 3} \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.632932532 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 4.37 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.632932532 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (k g) = x \times 4.37 \times 10^{- 3} \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

1.632932532 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 4.37 \times 10^{- 3}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

1.632932532 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 4.37 \times {10^{- 3}}^{10^{- 1}}

Simplify

1.632932532 = x \times 4.37 \times 10^{- 1}

Switch sides

x \times 4.37 \times 10^{- 1} = 1.632932532

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.37 \times 10^{- 1}})

x \times 4.37 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{4.37 \times 10^{- 1}} = 1.632932532 \times \frac{1.0}{4.37 \times 10^{- 1}}

Cancel

x \times 4.37 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{4.37 \times 10^{- 1}} = 1.632932532 \times \frac{1.0}{4.37 \times 10^{- 1}}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.632932532}{4.37 \times 10^{- 1}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 1}} can be rewritten to 10

Rewrite

x = \frac{10.0 \times 1.632932532}{4.37}

Solve

x

x \approx 3.7366877162 \approx 3.7367

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s h e k e l) \approx 3.7367 (d r a m)
