How to convert us tons (short) to hundredweight (us)
1 us ton (short) is equal to 20 hundredweight (us):
1 ust = (907184.74 g ÷ 45359.237 g) cwt_us = 20 cwt_us
Each us ton (short) is defined as 907184.74 g and each hundredweight (us) as 45359.237 g, so one ust equals 907184.74 ÷ 45359.237 cwt_us = 20 cwt_us.
Let w(ust) be the numeric value of the same mass measured in US Ton (Short) (ust), and w(cwt_us) the value in Hundredweight (US) (cwt_us). Then:
w(cwt_us) = w(ust) × (907184.74 / 45359.237)
Equivalently, divide by how many ust fit into one cwt_us (grams per cwt_us divided by grams per ust):
w(cwt_us) = w(ust) ÷ 0.05
Or: hundredweight (us) = us ton (short) ÷ 0.05
Examples
Example #1: Convert 20 ust to hundredweight (us)
20 ust = 20 ust × (907184.74/45359.237) cwt_us = 400 cwt_us
20 ust = 20 ust ÷ 0.05 = 400 cwt_us
Example #2: Convert 50 ust to hundredweight (us)
50 ust = 50 ust × (907184.74/45359.237) cwt_us = 1000 cwt_us
50 ust = 50 ust ÷ 0.05 = 1000 cwt_us
Summary
To convert US Ton (Short) to Hundredweight (US), multiply the value in ust by the ratio of grams per ust divided by grams per cwt_us. Equivalently: value_cwt_us = value_ust × (907184.74 / 45359.237). Numerically, 1 ust equals 20 cwt_us.
