Convert pound / cubic meter to pound / gallon

Learn how to convert 1 pound / cubic meter to pound / gallon 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{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}{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{p o u n d}{g a l l o n}) = \frac{5.0}{4.54609 \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}{4.54609 \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}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n})

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 \frac{5.0}{4.54609 \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 0.5 \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{5.0}{4.54609 \times 10^{- 2}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.5 \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{5.0}{4.54609 \times 10^{- 2}} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

0.5 = x \times \frac{5.0}{4.54609 \times 10^{- 2}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{5.0}{4.54609 \times 10^{- 2}} = 0.5

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 2}}{5.0})

x \times \frac{5.0}{4.54609 \times 10^{- 2}} \times \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 2}}{5.0} = 0.5 \times \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 2}}{5.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{5.0 \times 4.54609 \times 10^{- 2}}{4.54609 \times 10^{- 2} \times 5.0} = 0.5 \times \frac{4.54609 \times 10^{- 2}}{5.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.5 \times 4.54609 \times 10^{- 2}}{5.0}

Solve

x

x = 0.00454609 \approx 4.5461 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c m e t e r}) \approx 4.5461 \times 10^{- 3} (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n})
