Convert barrel to diesel

Learn how to convert 1 barrel to diesel step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (b a r r e l) = x (d i e s e l)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(c u b i c m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (b a r r e l) = 0.119240471196 (c u b i c m e t e r) = 0.119240471196 (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (d i e s e l) = \frac{10.0}{8.5} (c u b i c m e t e r) = \frac{10.0}{8.5} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (b a r r e l) = x (d i e s e l)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.119240471196 \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times \frac{10.0}{8.5} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.119240471196 \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot \frac{10.0}{8.5} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.119240471196 \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times \frac{10.0}{8.5} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

0.119240471196 = x \times \frac{10.0}{8.5}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{10.0}{8.5} = 0.119240471196

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{8.5}{10.0})

x \times \frac{10.0}{8.5} \times \frac{8.5}{10.0} = 0.119240471196 \times \frac{8.5}{10.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{10.0 \times 8.5}{8.5 \times 10.0} = 0.119240471196 \times \frac{8.5}{10.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.119240471196 \times 8.5}{10.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.1013544005 \approx 1.0135 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (b a r r e l) \approx 1.0135 \times 10^{- 1} (d i e s e l)
