Convert pound / cubic yard to tonne / cubic meter

Learn how to convert 1 pound / cubic yard to tonne / cubic meter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c y a r d}) = x (\frac{t o n n e}{c u b i c m e 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 y a r d}) = \frac{5.0}{7.64554857984} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{5.0}{7.64554857984} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{t o n n e}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = 1016.0469088 (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = 1016.0469088 (\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 y a r d}) = x (\frac{t o n n e}{c u b i c m e t e r})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{5.0}{7.64554857984} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times 1016.0469088 \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}{7.64554857984} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot 1016.0469088 \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{5.0}{7.64554857984} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times 1016.0469088 \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{5.0}{7.64554857984} = x \times 1016.0469088

Switch sides

x \times 1016.0469088 = \frac{5.0}{7.64554857984}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1016.0469088})

x \times 1016.0469088 \times \frac{1.0}{1016.0469088} = \frac{5.0}{7.64554857984} \times \frac{1.0}{1016.0469088}

Cancel

x \times 1016.0469088 \times \frac{1.0}{1016.0469088} = \frac{5.0 \times 1.0}{7.64554857984 \times 1016.0469088}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0}{7.64554857984 \times 1016.0469088}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0006436468 \approx 6.4365 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c y a r d}) \approx 6.4365 \times 10^{- 4} (\frac{t o n n e}{c u b i c m e t e r})
