Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{ton}{cubic \text{ } foot}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{pound}{cubic \text{ } foot}\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{ton}{cubic \text{ } foot}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{m^{3}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{pound}{cubic \text{ } foot}\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{45.359237}{2.8316846592}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{45.359237}{2.8316846592}\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{m^{3}}\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{ton}{cubic \text{ } foot}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{pound}{cubic \text{ } foot}\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{45.359237}{2.8316846592}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} kilo}gram}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{m^{3}}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{45.359237}{2.8316846592}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{m^{3}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{m^{3}}\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{45.359237}{2.8316846592}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(230,179,255)} k}g}{m^{3}}\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(\dfrac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{45.359237}{2.8316846592}\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\(\dfrac{10^{5}}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{2.8316846592}}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{45.359237}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{2.8316846592}}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(10^{5} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 45.359237\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 45.359237 = 10^{5}\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{45.359237}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 45.359237 \times \dfrac{1.0}{45.359237} = 10^{5} \times \dfrac{1.0}{45.359237}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{45.359237}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{45.359237}}} = 10^{5} \times \dfrac{1.0}{45.359237}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{10^{5}}{45.359237}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx2204.6226218\approx2.2046 \times 10^{3}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{ton}{cubic \text{ } foot}\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 2.2046 \times 10^{3}}\left(\dfrac{pound}{cubic \text{ } foot}\right)\)
