Convert grain / fluid-ounce to ton / gallon

Learn how to convert 1 grain / fluid-ounce to ton / gallon step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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}{f l u i d - o u n c e}) = \frac{6.479891}{2.84130625} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{6.479891}{2.84130625} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{t o n}{g a l l o n}) = \frac{10^{6}}{3.785411784} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{10^{6}}{3.785411784} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{6.479891}{2.84130625} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times \frac{10^{6}}{3.785411784} \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}{2.84130625} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{10^{6}}{3.785411784} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{6.479891}{2.84130625} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{10^{6}}{3.785411784} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{6.479891}{2.84130625} = x \times \frac{10^{6}}{3.785411784}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{10^{6}}{3.785411784} = \frac{6.479891}{2.84130625}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{3.785411784}{10^{6}})

x \times \frac{10^{6}}{3.785411784} \times \frac{3.785411784}{10^{6}} = \frac{6.479891}{2.84130625} \times \frac{3.785411784}{10^{6}}

Cancel

x \times \frac{10^{6} \times 3.785411784}{3.785411784 \times 10^{6}} = \frac{6.479891 \times 3.785411784}{2.84130625 \times 10^{6}}

Simplify

x = \frac{6.479891 \times 3.785411784}{2.84130625 \times 10^{6}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{6}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 6}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 6} \times 6.479891 \times 3.785411784}{2.84130625}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.000008633 \approx 8.633 \times 10^{- 6}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{g r a i n}{f l u i d - o u n c e}) \approx 8.633 \times 10^{- 6} (\frac{t o n}{g a l l o n})
