To convert USD/kg to USD/gallon, understanding specific gravity is crucial. Liquid A costs 1416 USD/gallon with a specific gravity of 1.35, while Liquid B costs 120 USD/kg with a specific gravity of 1.67. The conversion for Liquid B involves adjusting the price based on its specific gravity, as 1 kg equals 1 liter for water, but this changes for other liquids. A common error noted was the miscalculation of the gallon-to-liter conversion, which is approximately 4 liters per gallon, not 1000. Temperature may also affect the conversion accuracy, depending on precision needs.

Hello,

How do i convert USD/kg to USD/gallon? pl help

Liquid A:
Cost=1416 USD/gallon
Specific Gravity=1.35

Liquid B:
Cost=120 USD/Kg
Specific Gravity=1.67

Thank you

If it was water (specific gravity = 1), then 1 kg = 1 liter, and since 1 gallon ≈ 3,785 liter, that's
120 USD/kg = 120 UDS/liter = 454 UDS/gallon

I'll let you make the adjustment for the specific gravity of liquid B.

I think you're off by a factor of 1000 on that conversion of gallons to liters. 1 gallon is about 4 liters.

That was a European "decimal point" :wink:
 
You may have to account for the temperature of the liquid depending on how precise your conversion needs to be.

In his first post, the OP specified the required density values.
 
What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
