Convert pound / barrel to ton / barrel

Learn how to convert 1 pound / barrel to ton / barrel 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{t o n}{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{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{t o n}{b a r r e l}) = \frac{10^{4}}{1.19240471196} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{10^{4}}{1.19240471196} (\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{t o n}{b a r r e l})

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{10^{4}}{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{5.0}{1.19240471196} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{10^{4}}{1.19240471196} \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{10^{4}}{1.19240471196} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

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

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

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

Simplify

5.0 = x \times 10^{4}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{4} = 5.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{4}})

x \times 10^{4} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{4}} = 5.0 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{4}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{4} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{4}} = 5.0 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{4}}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0}{10^{4}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{4}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 4}

Rewrite

x = 10^{- 4} \times 5.0

Solve

x

x = 5 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{b a r r e l}) = 5 \times 10^{- 4} (\frac{t o n}{b a r r e l})
