Convert gram / gallon to pound / cubic inch

Learn how to convert 1 gram / gallon to pound / cubic inch step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{g r a m}{g a l l o n}) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c i n c h})

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

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c i n c h}) = \frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{g r a m}{g a l l o n}) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c i n c h})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{3.785411784} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times \frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \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{1.0}{3.785411784} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{3.785411784} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{1.0}{3.785411784} = x \times \frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} = \frac{1.0}{3.785411784}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}{4.5359237})

x \times \frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \times \frac{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}{4.5359237} = \frac{1.0}{3.785411784} \times \frac{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}{4.5359237}

Cancel

x \times \frac{4.5359237 \times 1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4} \times 4.5359237} = \frac{1.0 \times 1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}{3.785411784 \times 4.5359237}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}{3.785411784 \times 4.5359237}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000095438 \approx 9.5438 \times 10^{- 6}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{g r a m}{g a l l o n}) \approx 9.5438 \times 10^{- 6} (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c i n c h})
