Convert pound / barrel to pound / gallon

Learn how to convert 1 pound / barrel to pound / 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{p o u n d}{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{4.5359237}{1.6365924} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{4.5359237}{1.6365924} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n}) = \frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} (\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}{g a l l o n})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{4.5359237}{1.6365924} \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}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} \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{4.5359237}{1.6365924} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{4.5359237}{1.6365924} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{4.5359237}{1.6365924} = x \times \frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} = \frac{4.5359237}{1.6365924}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}{5.0})

x \times \frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} \times \frac{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}{5.0} = \frac{4.5359237}{1.6365924} \times \frac{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}{5.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{5.0 \times 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2} \times 5.0} = \frac{4.5359237 \times 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}{1.6365924 \times 5.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.5359237 \times 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}{1.6365924 \times 5.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0209830365 \approx 2.0983 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{b a r r e l}) \approx 2.0983 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n})
