Convert pound / liter to tonne / cubic foot

Learn how to convert 1 pound / liter to tonne / cubic foot step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{l i t e r}) = x (\frac{t o n n e}{c u b i c f o o t})

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{t o n n e}{c u b i c f o o t}) = \frac{1016.0469088}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{1016.0469088}{2.8316846592 \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{t o n n e}{c u b i c f o o t})

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{1016.0469088}{2.8316846592 \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{1016.0469088}{2.8316846592 \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{1016.0469088}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

5.0 \times 10^{2} = x \times \frac{1016.0469088}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1016.0469088}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}} = 5.0 \times 10^{2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}}{1016.0469088})

x \times \frac{1016.0469088}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}} \times \frac{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}}{1016.0469088} = 5.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}}{1016.0469088}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1016.0469088 \times 2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}}{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2} \times 1016.0469088} = 5.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}}{1016.0469088}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0 \times 2.8316846592}{1016.0469088}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0139348126 \approx 1.3935 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{l i t e r}) \approx 1.3935 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{t o n n e}{c u b i c f o o t})
