Convert tonne / minute to pound / hour

Learn how to convert 1 tonne / minute to pound / hour step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n n e}{m i n u t e}) = 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 n e}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{1016.0469088}{60.0} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{1016.0469088}{60.0} (\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 n e}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{h o u r})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1016.0469088}{60.0} \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{1016.0469088}{60.0} \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{1016.0469088}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{k g}{s}) = x \times \frac{0.45359237}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{k g}{s})

Conversion Equation

\frac{1016.0469088}{60.0} = x \times \frac{0.45359237}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{0.45359237}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = \frac{1016.0469088}{60.0}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{0.45359237})

x \times \frac{0.45359237}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{0.45359237} = \frac{1016.0469088}{60.0} \times \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{0.45359237}

Cancel

x \times \frac{0.45359237 \times 3.6 \times 10^{3}}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 0.45359237} = \frac{1016.0469088 \times 3.6 \times 10^{3}}{60.0 \times 0.45359237}

Simplify

x = \frac{1016.0469088 \times 3.6 \times 10^{3}}{60.0 \times 0.45359237}

Solve

x

x = 134400 = 1.344 \times 10^{5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{t o n n e}{m i n u t e}) = 1.344 \times 10^{5} (\frac{p o u n d}{h o u r})
