Convert ton to tonne

Learn how to convert 1 ton to tonne step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (t o n) = x (t o n n e)

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 (t o n) = 1000.0 (k i l o g r a m) = 1000.0 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (t o n n e) = 10^{3} (k i l o g r a m) = 10^{3} (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (t o n) = x (t o n n e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1000.0 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times 10^{3} \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1000.0 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot 10^{3} \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1000.0 \cdot (k g) = x \times 10^{3} \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

10^{3} = x \times 10^{3}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

10^{3} = x \times 10^{3}

Simplify

1.0 = x

Switch sides

x = 1.0

Solve

x

x = 1

Conversion Equation

1.0 (t o n) = 1 (t o n n e)
