Question

How many quintals is equal to $1$ metric ton?

Answer 1

Compare quintal and metric tons in terms of kilograms:

Since both quintal and metric ton are units of mass.

We know that,

$$\begin{gathered} 1\mathrm{Metric}\mathrm{Ton}=1000\mathrm{kg}....\left(\mathrm{i}\right) \\ 1\mathrm{Quintal}=100\mathrm{kg}....\left(\mathrm{ii}\right) \end{gathered}$$

Now, divide the equation $\left(i\right)$ by the equation $\left(ii\right)$,

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{1\mathrm{Metric}\mathrm{Ton}}{1\mathrm{Quintal}}=\frac{1000\mathrm{kg}}{100\mathrm{kg}} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1\mathrm{Metric}\mathrm{Ton}}{1\mathrm{Quintal}}=10 \end{gathered}$$

$\Rightarrow 1\mathrm{Metric}\mathrm{Ton}=10\mathrm{Quintal}$

Therefore, $10\mathrm{quintal}$ is equal to $1\mathrm{metric}\mathrm{ton}$.
