step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(slug\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(ton\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(slug\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 14.5920665429\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 14.5920665429\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(ton\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1000.0\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1000.0\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(slug\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(ton\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 14.5920665429} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1000.0}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 14.5920665429} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1000.0} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 14.5920665429} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 1000.0} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left({\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(14.5920665429 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 10^{3}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 10^{3} = 14.5920665429\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{3}}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 10^{3} \times \dfrac{1.0}{10^{3}} = 14.5920665429 \times \dfrac{1.0}{10^{3}}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{3}}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{3}}}} = 14.5920665429 \times \dfrac{1.0}{10^{3}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{14.5920665429}{10^{3}}\)
Rewrite equation
\(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{3}}\text{ can be rewritten to }10^{-3}\)
\(\text{Rewrite}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 10^{-3} \times 14.5920665429\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx0.0145920665\approx1.4592 \times 10^{-2}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(slug\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 1.4592 \times 10^{-2}}\left(ton\right)\)
