ton / liter
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound}{fluid-ounce}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{ton}{liter}\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{pound}{fluid-ounce}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{45359.237}{2.95735295625}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{45359.237}{2.95735295625}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{m^{3}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{ton}{liter}\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{6}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{6}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{m^{3}}\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound}{fluid-ounce}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{ton}{liter}\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{45359.237}{2.95735295625}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{6}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{45359.237}{2.95735295625}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{m^{3}}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{6}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{m^{3}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{45359.237}{2.95735295625}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{m^{3}}\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{6}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{m^{3}}\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(\dfrac{45359.237}{2.95735295625} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 10^{6}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 10^{6} = \dfrac{45359.237}{2.95735295625}\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{6}}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 10^{6} \times \dfrac{1.0}{10^{6}} = \dfrac{45359.237}{2.95735295625} \times \dfrac{1.0}{10^{6}}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{6}}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{6}}}} = \dfrac{45359.237 \times 1.0}{2.95735295625 \times 10^{6}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{45359.237}{2.95735295625 \times 10^{6}}\)
Rewrite equation
\(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{6}}\text{ can be rewritten to }10^{-6}\)
\(\text{Rewrite}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{10^{-6} \times 45359.237}{2.95735295625}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx0.0153377827\approx1.5338 \times 10^{-2}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound}{fluid-ounce}\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 1.5338 \times 10^{-2}}\left(\dfrac{ton}{liter}\right)\)
