Convert pound / gallon to ounce / cubic foot

Learn how to convert 1 pound / gallon to ounce / cubic foot 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{o u n c e}{c u b i c f o o t})

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{5.0}{3.785411784 \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}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{o u n c e}{c u b i c f o o t}) = \frac{2.8349523125}{2.8316846592} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{2.8349523125}{2.8316846592} (\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{o u n c e}{c u b i c f o o t})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times \frac{2.8349523125}{2.8316846592} \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}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{2.8349523125}{2.8316846592} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{2.8349523125}{2.8316846592} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} = x \times \frac{2.8349523125}{2.8316846592}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{2.8349523125}{2.8316846592} = \frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{2.8316846592}{2.8349523125})

x \times \frac{2.8349523125}{2.8316846592} \times \frac{2.8316846592}{2.8349523125} = \frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} \times \frac{2.8316846592}{2.8349523125}

Cancel

x \times \frac{2.8349523125 \times 2.8316846592}{2.8316846592 \times 2.8349523125} = \frac{5.0 \times 2.8316846592}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2} \times 2.8349523125}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0 \times 2.8316846592}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2} \times 2.8349523125}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} can be rewritten to 10^{2}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{2} \times 5.0 \times 2.8316846592}{3.785411784 \times 2.8349523125}

Solve

x

x \approx 131.93377976 \approx 1.3193 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n}) \approx 1.3193 \times 10^{2} (\frac{o u n c e}{c u b i c f o o t})
