Convert pound / barrel to pound / cubic yard

Learn how to convert 1 pound / barrel to pound / cubic yard 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 y a r d})

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 y a r d}) = \frac{5.0}{7.64554857984} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{5.0}{7.64554857984} (\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 y a r d})

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{5.0}{7.64554857984} \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{5.0}{7.64554857984} \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{5.0}{7.64554857984} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{5.0}{1.19240471196} = x \times \frac{5.0}{7.64554857984}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{5.0}{1.19240471196} = x \times \frac{5.0}{7.64554857984}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1.0}{7.64554857984} = \frac{1.0}{1.19240471196}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{7.64554857984}{1.0})

x \times \frac{1.0}{7.64554857984} \times \frac{7.64554857984}{1.0} = \frac{1.0}{1.19240471196} \times \frac{7.64554857984}{1.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1.0 \times 7.64554857984}{7.64554857984 \times 1.0} = \frac{1.0 \times 7.64554857984}{1.19240471196 \times 1.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{7.64554857984}{1.19240471196}

Solve

x

x \approx 6.4118738404 \approx 6.4119

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{b a r r e l}) \approx 6.4119 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c y a r d})
