Convert pound / barrel to grain / gallon

Learn how to convert 1 pound / barrel to grain / gallon step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{g r a i n}{g a l l o n}) = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.785411784} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.785411784} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \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}) = x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}}{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{5.0}{1.19240471196} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.785411784} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{5.0}{1.19240471196} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.785411784} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{5.0}{1.19240471196} = x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.785411784}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.785411784} = \frac{5.0}{1.19240471196}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{3.785411784}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}})

x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.785411784} \times \frac{3.785411784}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}} = \frac{5.0}{1.19240471196} \times \frac{3.785411784}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}}

Cancel

x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 2} \times 3.785411784}{3.785411784 \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}} = \frac{5.0 \times 3.785411784}{1.19240471196 \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0 \times 3.785411784}{1.19240471196 \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 2}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} can be rewritten to 10^{2}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{2} \times 5.0 \times 3.785411784}{1.19240471196 \times 6.479891}

Solve

x

x \approx 244.95806909 \approx 2.4496 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{b a r r e l}) \approx 2.4496 \times 10^{2} (\frac{g r a i n}{g a l l o n})
