Convert pound / cubic inch to ton / cubic mile

Learn how to convert 1 pound / cubic inch to ton / cubic mile 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{t o n}{c u b i c m i l e})

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{5.0}{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{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{t o n}{c u b i c m i l e}) = \frac{10^{3}}{4168181825.44058} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{10^{3}}{4168181825.44058} (\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{t o n}{c u b i c m i l e})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{5.0}{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{10^{3}}{4168181825.44058} \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}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{10^{3}}{4168181825.44058} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{10^{3}}{4168181825.44058} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} = x \times \frac{10^{3}}{4168181825.44058}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{10^{3}}{4168181825.44058} = \frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{4168181825.44058}{10^{3}})

x \times \frac{10^{3}}{4168181825.44058} \times \frac{4168181825.44058}{10^{3}} = \frac{5.0}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 4}} \times \frac{4168181825.44058}{10^{3}}

Cancel

x \times \frac{10^{3} \times 4168181825.44058}{4168181825.44058 \times 10^{3}} = \frac{5.0 \times 4168181825.44058}{1.6387064 \times {10^{- 4}}^{10^{- 1}} \times 10^{3}}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0 \times 4168181825.44058}{1.6387064 \times 10^{- 1}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 1}} can be rewritten to 10

Rewrite

x = \frac{10.0 \times 5.0 \times 4168181825.44058}{1.6387064}

Solve

x

x \approx 1.2717903053 \times 10^{11} \approx 1.2718 \times 10^{11}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c i n c h}) \approx 1.2718 \times 10^{11} (\frac{t o n}{c u b i c m i l e})
