Convert watt to calorie / minute

Learn how to convert 1 watt to calorie / minute step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (w a t t) = x (\frac{c a l o r i e}{m i n u t e})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (w a t t) = 1.0 (w a t t) = 1.0 (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{4.184}{60.0} (w a t t) = \frac{4.184}{60.0} (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (w a t t) = x (\frac{c a l o r i e}{m i n u t e})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.0 \times (w a t t) = x \times \frac{4.184}{60.0} \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.0 \cdot (W) = x \cdot \frac{4.184}{60.0} \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.0 \cdot (W) = x \times \frac{4.184}{60.0} \times (W)

Conversion Equation

1.0 = x \times \frac{4.184}{60.0}

Simplify

1.0 = x \times \frac{4.184}{60.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{4.184}{60.0} = 1.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{60.0}{4.184})

x \times \frac{4.184}{60.0} \times \frac{60.0}{4.184} = 1.0 \times \frac{60.0}{4.184}

Cancel

x \times \frac{4.184 \times 60.0}{60.0 \times 4.184} = 1.0 \times \frac{60.0}{4.184}

Simplify

x = \frac{60.0}{4.184}

Solve

x

x \approx 14.340344168 \approx 14.3403

Conversion Equation

1.0 (w a t t) \approx 14.3403 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{m i n u t e})
