Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(pound\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(truss\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(pound\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 0.5\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 0.5\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(truss\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 16.32932532\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 16.32932532\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(pound\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(truss\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 0.5} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 16.32932532}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 0.5} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 16.32932532} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 0.5} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 16.32932532} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(0.5 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 16.32932532\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 16.32932532 = 0.5\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{16.32932532}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 16.32932532 \times \dfrac{1.0}{16.32932532} = 0.5 \times \dfrac{1.0}{16.32932532}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{16.32932532}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{16.32932532}}} = 0.5 \times \dfrac{1.0}{16.32932532}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{0.5}{16.32932532}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx0.0306197586\approx3.062 \times 10^{-2}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(pound\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 3.062 \times 10^{-2}}\left(truss\right)\)
