Convert pound / cubic meter to gram / liter

Learn how to convert 1 pound / cubic meter to gram / liter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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 m e t e r}) = 0.5 (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = 0.5 (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.5 \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times 1.0 \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r})

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.5 \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.5 \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times 1.0 \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

0.5 = x \times 1.0

Simplify

0.5 = x

Switch sides

x = 0.5

Solve

x

x = 5 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = 5 \times 10^{- 1} (\frac{g r a m}{l i t e r})
