Convert pound / cubic inch to gram / gallon

Learn how to convert 1 pound / cubic inch to gram / gallon step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c i n c h}) = x (\frac{g r a m}{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}{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}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{g r a m}{g a l l o n}) = \frac{1.0}{4.54609} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{1.0}{4.54609} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \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}) = x \times \frac{1.0}{4.54609} \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}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{1.0}{4.54609} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{1.0}{4.54609} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} = x \times \frac{1.0}{4.54609}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1.0}{4.54609} = \frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{4.54609}{1.0})

x \times \frac{1.0}{4.54609} \times \frac{4.54609}{1.0} = \frac{4.5359237}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \times \frac{4.54609}{1.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1.0 \times 4.54609}{4.54609 \times 1.0} = \frac{4.5359237 \times 4.54609}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4} \times 1.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.5359237 \times 4.54609}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}

Rewrite equation

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

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{4} \times 4.5359237 \times 4.54609}{1.6387064}

Solve

x

x \approx 125835.338 \approx 1.2584 \times 10^{5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c i n c h}) \approx 1.2584 \times 10^{5} (\frac{g r a m}{g a l l o n})
