Convert pound / liter to pound / gallon

Learn how to convert 1 pound / liter to pound / gallon step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{l i t e r}) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n})

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}{l i t e r}) = 5.0 \times 10^{2} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = 5.0 \times 10^{2} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right 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}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{l i t e r}) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 5.0 \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{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})

Or

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

Cancel SI units

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

Conversion Equation

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

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

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

Simplify

10^{2} = x \times \frac{1.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} = 10^{2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}{1.0})

x \times \frac{1.0}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}} \times \frac{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}{1.0} = 10^{2} \times \frac{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}{1.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1.0 \times 3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2} \times 1.0} = 10^{2} \times \frac{3.785411784 \times 10^{- 2}}{1.0}

Simplify

x = 3.785411784

Solve

x

x = 3.785411784 \approx 3.7854

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{l i t e r}) \approx 3.7854 (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n})
