Convert cubic yard to displacement ton

Learn how to convert 1 cubic yard to displacement ton step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c u b i c y a r d) = x (d i s p l a c e m e n t t o n)

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 (c u b i c y a r d) = 7.64554857984 \times 10^{- 1} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 7.64554857984 \times 10^{- 1} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (d i s p l a c e m e n t t o n) = 9.9108963072 \times 10^{- 1} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 9.9108963072 \times 10^{- 1} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c u b i c y a r d) = x (d i s p l a c e m e n t t o n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 7.64554857984 \times 10^{- 1} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 9.9108963072 \times 10^{- 1} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 7.64554857984 \times 10^{- 1} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 9.9108963072 \times 10^{- 1} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 7.64554857984 \times 10^{- 1} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 9.9108963072 \times 10^{- 1} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

7.64554857984 \times 10^{- 1} = x \times 9.9108963072 \times 10^{- 1}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

7.64554857984 \times 10^{- 1} = x \times 9.9108963072 \times 10^{- 1}

Simplify

7.64554857984 = x \times 9.9108963072

Switch sides

x \times 9.9108963072 = 7.64554857984

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{9.9108963072})

x \times 9.9108963072 \times \frac{1.0}{9.9108963072} = 7.64554857984 \times \frac{1.0}{9.9108963072}

Cancel

x \times 9.9108963072 \times \frac{1.0}{9.9108963072} = 7.64554857984 \times \frac{1.0}{9.9108963072}

Simplify

x = \frac{7.64554857984}{9.9108963072}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.7714285714 \approx 7.7143 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c u b i c y a r d) \approx 7.7143 \times 10^{- 1} (d i s p l a c e m e n t t o n)
