Convert pound / gallon to ton / barrel

Learn how to convert 1 pound / gallon to ton / 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{t o n}{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{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{t o n}{b a r r e l}) = \frac{10^{4}}{1.6365924} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{10^{4}}{1.6365924} (\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{t o n}{b a r r e l})

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{10^{4}}{1.6365924} \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{10^{4}}{1.6365924} \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{10^{4}}{1.6365924} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} = x \times \frac{10^{4}}{1.6365924}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{10^{4}}{1.6365924} = \frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.6365924}{10^{4}})

x \times \frac{10^{4}}{1.6365924} \times \frac{1.6365924}{10^{4}} = \frac{5.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} \times \frac{1.6365924}{10^{4}}

Cancel

x \times \frac{10^{4} \times 1.6365924}{1.6365924 \times 10^{4}} = \frac{5.0 \times 1.6365924}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2} \times {10^{4}}^{10^{2}}}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0 \times 1.6365924}{3.785411784 \times 10^{2}}

Rewrite equation

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

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 2} \times 5.0 \times 1.6365924}{3.785411784}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0216170987 \approx 2.1617 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n}) \approx 2.1617 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{t o n}{b a r r e l})
