step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(board \text{ } foot\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(drop\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(cubic \text{ } meter\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(board \text{ } foot\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.359737216 \times 10^{-3}\left(cubic \text{ } meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.359737216 \times 10^{-3}\left(m^{3}\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(drop\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-8}\left(cubic \text{ } meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-8}\left(m^{3}\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(board \text{ } foot\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(drop\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.359737216 \times 10^{-3}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(cubic \text{ } meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-8}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(cubic \text{ } meter\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.359737216 \times 10^{-3}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(m^{3}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-8}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(m^{3}\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.359737216 \times 10^{-3}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(m^{3}\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-8}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(m^{3}\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(2.359737216 \times 10^{-3} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-8}\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\(2.359737216 \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{-3}}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 6.48542314967105 \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancelto{10^{-5}}{10^{-8}}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(2.359737216 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-5}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-5} = 2.359737216\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-5}}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-5} \times \dfrac{1.0}{6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-5}} = 2.359737216 \times \dfrac{1.0}{6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-5}}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{6.48542314967105}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{10^{-5}}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{6.48542314967105}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{10^{-5}}}} = 2.359737216 \times \dfrac{1.0}{6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-5}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{2.359737216}{6.48542314967105 \times 10^{-5}}\)
Rewrite equation
\(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{-5}}\text{ can be rewritten to }10^{5}\)
\(\text{Rewrite}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{10^{5} \times 2.359737216}{6.48542314967105}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx36385.246753\approx3.6385 \times 10^{4}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(board \text{ } foot\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 3.6385 \times 10^{4}}\left(drop\right)\)
