Convert pound / gallon to pound / cubic meter

Learn how to convert 1 pound / gallon to pound / cubic meter 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}{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}{g a l l o n}) = \frac{0.45359237}{4.40488377086 \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}{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{0.45359237}{4.40488377086 \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 0.45359237 \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}{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot 0.45359237 \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{0.45359237}{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times 0.45359237 \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{0.45359237}{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}} = x \times 0.45359237

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{0.45359237}{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}} = x \times 0.45359237

Simplify

\frac{1.0}{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}} = x

Switch sides

x = \frac{1.0}{4.40488377086 \times 10^{- 3}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 3}} can be rewritten to 10^{3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{3}}{4.40488377086}

Solve

x

x \approx 227.02074607 \approx 2.2702 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n}) \approx 2.2702 \times 10^{2} (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c m e t e r})
