Convert ton / hour to pound / hour

Learn how to convert 1 ton / hour to pound / hour step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n}{h o u r}) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{h o u r})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{t o n}{h o u r}) = \frac{1.0}{3.6} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{1.0}{3.6} (\frac{k g}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{h o u r}) = \frac{0.45359237}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{0.45359237}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{k g}{s})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{t o n}{h o u r}) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{h o u r})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{3.6} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d}) = x \times \frac{0.45359237}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1.0}{3.6} \cdot (\frac{k g}{s}) = x \cdot \frac{0.45359237}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{3.6} \cdot (\frac{k g}{s}) = x \times \frac{0.45359237}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{k g}{s})

Conversion Equation

\frac{1.0}{3.6} = x \times \frac{0.45359237}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{1.0}{3.6} = x \times \frac{0.45359237}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Simplify

1.0 = x \times \frac{0.45359237}{10^{3}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{0.45359237}{10^{3}} = 1.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{10^{3}}{0.45359237})

x \times \frac{0.45359237}{10^{3}} \times \frac{10^{3}}{0.45359237} = \times \frac{10^{3}}{0.45359237}

Cancel

x \times \frac{0.45359237 \times 10^{3}}{10^{3} \times 0.45359237} = \frac{10^{3}}{0.45359237}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{3}}{0.45359237}

Solve

x

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

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n}{h o u r}) \approx 2.2046 \times 10^{3} (\frac{p o u n d}{h o u r})
