Convert ton / gallon to pound / gallon

Learn how to convert 1 ton / gallon to pound / gallon 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}{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{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}{g a l l o n}) = \frac{453.59237}{4.54609} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{453.59237}{4.54609} (\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}{g a l l o n})

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{453.59237}{4.54609} \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{453.59237}{4.54609} \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{453.59237}{4.54609} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{10^{6}}{4.54609} = x \times \frac{453.59237}{4.54609}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{10^{6}}{4.54609} = x \times \frac{453.59237}{4.54609}

Simplify

10^{6} = x \times 453.59237

Switch sides

x \times 453.59237 = 10^{6}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{453.59237})

x \times 453.59237 \times \frac{1.0}{453.59237} = 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{453.59237}

Cancel

x \times 453.59237 \times \frac{1.0}{453.59237} = 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{453.59237}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{6}}{453.59237}

Solve

x

x \approx 2204.6226218 \approx 2.2046 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n}{g a l l o n}) \approx 2.2046 \times 10^{3} (\frac{p o u n d}{g a l l o n})
