Convert pound / gallon to grain / liter

Learn how to convert 1 pound / gallon to grain / liter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n}) = x (\frac{g r a i n}{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}{g a l l o n}) = \frac{0.45359237}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3}} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{0.45359237}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3}} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{g r a i n}{l i t e r}) = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{10^{- 3}} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{10^{- 3}} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{0.45359237}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3}} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{10^{- 3}} \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{0.45359237}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{10^{- 3}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{0.45359237}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{10^{- 3}} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{0.45359237}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3}} = x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{10^{- 3}}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{0.45359237}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 3}} = x \times \frac{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}{10^{- 3}}

Simplify

\frac{0.45359237}{3.785411784} = x \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}

Switch sides

x \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} = \frac{0.45359237}{3.785411784}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}})

x \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}} = \frac{0.45359237}{3.785411784} \times \frac{1.0}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}

Cancel

x \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}} = \frac{0.45359237 \times 1.0}{3.785411784 \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.45359237}{3.785411784 \times 6.479891 \times 10^{- 5}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 5}} can be rewritten to 10^{5}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{5} \times 0.45359237}{3.785411784 \times 6.479891}
