Convert pound / gallon to pound / cubic yard

Learn how to convert 1 pound / gallon to pound / cubic yard 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 y a r d})

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}{4.54609} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{453.59237}{4.54609} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c y a r d}) = \frac{4.5359237}{7.64554857984} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{4.5359237}{7.64554857984} (\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 y a r d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{453.59237}{4.54609} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times \frac{4.5359237}{7.64554857984} \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}{4.54609} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{4.5359237}{7.64554857984} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{453.59237}{4.54609} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{4.5359237}{7.64554857984} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{453.59237}{4.54609} = x \times \frac{4.5359237}{7.64554857984}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{4.5359237}{7.64554857984} = \frac{453.59237}{4.54609}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{7.64554857984}{4.5359237})

x \times \frac{4.5359237}{7.64554857984} \times \frac{7.64554857984}{4.5359237} = \frac{453.59237}{4.54609} \times \frac{7.64554857984}{4.5359237}

Cancel

x \times \frac{4.5359237 \times 7.64554857984}{7.64554857984 \times 4.5359237} = \frac{453.59237 \times 7.64554857984}{4.54609 \times 4.5359237}

Simplify

x = \frac{453.59237 \times 7.64554857984}{4.54609 \times 4.5359237}

Solve

x

x \approx 168.17855739 \approx 1.6818 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n}) \approx 1.6818 \times 10^{2} (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c y a r d})
