Convert pound / gallon to pound / barrel

Learn how to convert 1 pound / gallon to pound / barrel 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{p o u n d}{b a r r e l})

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{453.59237}{3.785411784} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{453.59237}{3.785411784} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{b a r r e l}) = \frac{0.45359237}{0.119240471196} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{0.45359237}{0.119240471196} (\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{p o u n d}{b a r r e l})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{453.59237}{3.785411784} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times \frac{0.45359237}{0.119240471196} \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{453.59237}{3.785411784} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{0.45359237}{0.119240471196} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{453.59237}{3.785411784} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{0.45359237}{0.119240471196} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{453.59237}{3.785411784} = x \times \frac{0.45359237}{0.119240471196}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{0.45359237}{0.119240471196} = \frac{453.59237}{3.785411784}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{0.119240471196}{0.45359237})

x \times \frac{0.45359237}{0.119240471196} \times \frac{0.119240471196}{0.45359237} = \frac{453.59237}{3.785411784} \times \frac{0.119240471196}{0.45359237}

Cancel

x \times \frac{0.45359237 \times 0.119240471196}{0.119240471196 \times 0.45359237} = \frac{453.59237 \times 0.119240471196}{3.785411784 \times 0.45359237}

Simplify

x = \frac{453.59237 \times 0.119240471196}{3.785411784 \times 0.45359237}

Solve

x = 31.5

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n}) = 31.5 (\frac{p o u n d}{b a r r e l})
