Convert ton / liter to pound / cubic meter

Learn how to convert 1 ton / liter to pound / cubic meter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n}{l i t e r}) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c m e t e r})

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

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = 0.5 (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = 0.5 (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{t o n}{l i t e r}) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c m e t e r})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{6} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times 0.5 \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r})

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{6} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot 0.5 \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 10^{6} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times 0.5 \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

10^{6} = x \times 0.5

Switch sides

x \times 0.5 = 10^{6}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.5})

x \times 0.5 \times \frac{1.0}{0.5} = 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{0.5}

Cancel

x \times 0.5 \times \frac{1.0}{0.5} = 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{0.5}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{6}}{0.5}

Solve

x

x = 2000000 = 2 \times 10^{6}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n}{l i t e r}) = 2 \times 10^{6} (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c m e t e r})
