Learn how to convert 1 pound / second to ton / minute step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
1.0(poundsecond)=x(tonminute)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit (kilogramsecond)
Left side: 1.0 (poundsecond)=0.5(kilogramsecond)=0.5(kgs)
Right side: 1.0 (tonminute)=1026.0(kilogramsecond)=1026.0(kgs)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine x
1.0(poundsecond)=x(tonminute)
Insert known values =>
1.0×0.5×(kilogramsecond)=x×1026.0×(kilogramsecond)
Or
1.00.5(kgs)=x1026.0(kgs)
Cancel SI units
1.0×0.5(kgs)=x×1026.0×(kgs)
Conversion Equation
0.5=x×1026.0
Switch sides
x×1026.0=0.5
Isolate x
Multiply both sides by (6.0102)
x×1026.0×6.0102=0.5×6.0102
Cancel
x×102×6.06.0×102=0.5×6.0102
Simplify
x=0.5×6.0102
Rewrite equation
1.0102 can be rewritten to 102
Rewrite
x=102×0.5×6.0
Solve x
x=3×102
Conversion Equation
1.0(poundsecond)=3×102(tonminute)
