Convert ton / gallon to ton / cubic foot

Learn how to convert 1 ton / gallon to ton / 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{t o n}{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}}{3.785411784} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{10^{6}}{3.785411784} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{t o n}{c u b i c f o o t}) = \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592} (\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{t o n}{c u b i c f o o t})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{10^{6}}{3.785411784} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592} \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}}{3.785411784} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{10^{6}}{3.785411784} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{10^{6}}{3.785411784} = x \times \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{{10^{6}}^{10}}{3.785411784} = x \times \frac{10^{5}}{2.8316846592}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1.0}{2.8316846592} = \frac{10.0}{3.785411784}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{2.8316846592}{1.0})

x \times \frac{1.0}{2.8316846592} \times \frac{2.8316846592}{1.0} = \frac{10.0}{3.785411784} \times \frac{2.8316846592}{1.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1.0 \times 2.8316846592}{2.8316846592 \times 1.0} = \frac{10.0 \times 2.8316846592}{3.785411784 \times 1.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{10.0 \times 2.8316846592}{3.785411784}

Solve

x

x \approx 7.4805194805 \approx 7.4805

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n}{g a l l o n}) \approx 7.4805 (\frac{t o n}{c u b i c f o o t})
