Convert kilogram / cubic meter to pound / barrel

Learn how to convert 1 kilogram / cubic meter to pound / barrel step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = 10^{- 3} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = 10^{- 3} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{b a r r e l}) = \frac{5.0}{1.19240471196} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{5.0}{1.19240471196} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Define the values of the selected prefixes

Left side: \frac{k i l o}{1.0} = \frac{k}{1.0} = \frac{10^{3}}{1.0}

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{10^{3}}{1.0} \times 10^{- 3} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times \frac{5.0}{1.19240471196} \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{10^{3}}{1.0} \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{5.0}{1.19240471196} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{10^{3}}{1.0} \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{5.0}{1.19240471196} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

10^{- 3} \times \frac{10^{3}}{1.0} = x \times \frac{5.0}{1.19240471196}

Simplify

1.0 = x \times \frac{5.0}{1.19240471196}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{5.0}{1.19240471196} = 1.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.19240471196}{5.0})

x \times \frac{5.0}{1.19240471196} \times \frac{1.19240471196}{5.0} = 1.0 \times \frac{1.19240471196}{5.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{5.0 \times 1.19240471196}{1.19240471196 \times 5.0} = 1.0 \times \frac{1.19240471196}{5.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.19240471196}{5.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.2384809424 \approx 2.3848 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) \approx 2.3848 \times 10^{- 1} (\frac{p o u n d}{b a r r e l})
