step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound}{minute}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{ton}{minute}\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{second}\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{pound}{minute}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{s}\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{ton}{minute}\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{10^{2}}{6.0}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{10^{2}}{6.0}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{s}\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound}{minute}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{ton}{minute}\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{10^{2}}{6.0}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{second}\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{s}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{10^{2}}{6.0}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{s}\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{s}\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{10^{2}}{6.0}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{s}\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(\dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{10^{2}}{6.0}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{10^{2}}{6.0} = \dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0}\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{6.0}{10^{2}}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{10^{2}}{6.0} \times \dfrac{6.0}{10^{2}} = \dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0} \times \dfrac{6.0}{10^{2}}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{2}}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{6.0}}}{{\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{6.0}} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{2}}}} = \dfrac{0.45359237 \times 6.0}{60.0 \times 10^{2}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{0.45359237 \times 6.0}{60.0 \times 10^{2}}\)
Rewrite equation
\(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{2}}\text{ can be rewritten to }10^{-2}\)
\(\text{Rewrite}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{10^{-2} \times 0.45359237 \times 6.0}{60.0}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx0.0004535924\approx4.5359 \times 10^{-4}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound}{minute}\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 4.5359 \times 10^{-4}}\left(\dfrac{ton}{minute}\right)\)
