Convert ton / gallon to pound / cubic foot

Learn how to convert 1 ton / gallon to pound / cubic foot step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n}{g a l l o n}) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{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{t o n}{g a l l o n}) = \frac{10^{6}}{4.54609} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{10^{6}}{4.54609} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c f o o t}) = \frac{5.0}{0.28316846592} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{5.0}{0.28316846592} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{10^{6}}{4.54609} \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}{0.28316846592} \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{10^{6}}{4.54609} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{5.0}{0.28316846592} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{10^{6}}{4.54609} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{5.0}{0.28316846592} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{10^{6}}{4.54609} = x \times \frac{5.0}{0.28316846592}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{5.0}{0.28316846592} = \frac{10^{6}}{4.54609}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{0.28316846592}{5.0})

x \times \frac{5.0}{0.28316846592} \times \frac{0.28316846592}{5.0} = \frac{10^{6}}{4.54609} \times \frac{0.28316846592}{5.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{5.0 \times 0.28316846592}{0.28316846592 \times 5.0} = \frac{10^{6} \times 0.28316846592}{4.54609 \times 5.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{6} \times 0.28316846592}{4.54609 \times 5.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 12457.670918 \approx 1.2458 \times 10^{4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n}{g a l l o n}) \approx 1.2458 \times 10^{4} (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c f o o t})
