Convert grain / barrel to ton / cubic foot

Learn how to convert 1 grain / barrel to ton / cubic foot step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{g r a i n}{b a r r e l}) = x (\frac{t o n}{c u b i c f o o t})

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

(\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{g r a i n}{b a r r e l}) = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{t o n}{c u b i c f o o t}) = \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{g r a i n}{b a r r e l}) = x (\frac{t o n}{c u b i c f o o t})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} = x \times \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592} = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{2.8316846592}{10^{5}})

x \times \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592} \times \frac{2.8316846592}{10^{5}} = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.16365924} \times \frac{2.8316846592}{10^{5}}

Cancel

x \times \frac{10^{5} \times 2.8316846592}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{5}} = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} \times 2.8316846592}{0.16365924 \times 10^{5}}

Simplify

x = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} \times 2.8316846592}{0.16365924 \times 10^{5}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{5}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 5}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 5} \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} \times 2.8316846592}{0.16365924}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 10} \times 6.479891 \times 2.8316846592}{0.16365924}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000000112 \approx 1.1212 \times 10^{- 8}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{g r a i n}{b a r r e l}) \approx 1.1212 \times 10^{- 8} (\frac{t o n}{c u b i c f o o t})
