Convert pound / barrel to pound / cubic inch

Learn how to convert 1 pound / barrel to pound / cubic inch 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{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{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{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{p o u n d}{b a r r e l}) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c i n c h})

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{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{5.0}{1.19240471196} \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{5.0}{1.19240471196} \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{5.0}{1.19240471196} = x \times \frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} = \frac{5.0}{1.19240471196}

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{5.0}{1.19240471196} \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{5.0 \times 1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}{1.19240471196 \times 4.5359237}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0 \times 1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}{1.19240471196 \times 4.5359237}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0001514892 \approx 1.5149 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{b a r r e l}) \approx 1.5149 \times 10^{- 4} (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c i n c h})
