tonne / minute to
pound / minute
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{tonne}{minute}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{pound}{minute}\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{second}\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{tonne}{minute}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1016.0469088}{60.0}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1016.0469088}{60.0}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{s}\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{pound}{minute}\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{s}\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{tonne}{minute}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{pound}{minute}\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1016.0469088}{60.0}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{second}\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1016.0469088}{60.0}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{s}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{s}\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{1016.0469088}{60.0}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{s}\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{s}\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(\dfrac{1016.0469088}{60.0} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{0.45359237}{60.0}\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\(\dfrac{1016.0469088}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{60.0}}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{0.45359237}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{60.0}}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(1016.0469088 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 0.45359237\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 0.45359237 = 1016.0469088\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{0.45359237}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 0.45359237 \times \dfrac{1.0}{0.45359237} = 1016.0469088 \times \dfrac{1.0}{0.45359237}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{0.45359237}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{0.45359237}}} = 1016.0469088 \times \dfrac{1.0}{0.45359237}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{1016.0469088}{0.45359237}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 2240 = 2.24 \times 10^{3}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{tonne}{minute}\right) = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 2.24 \times 10^{3}}\left(\dfrac{pound}{minute}\right)\)
