So, I believe, the conversion factor is already accounted for.In summary, to convert USD/kg to USD/gallon, you need to use the specific gravity of the liquid. For liquid A, the cost is 1416 USD/gallon and the specific gravity is 1.35. For liquid B, the cost is 120 USD/kg and the specific gravity is 1.67. Assuming the specific gravity of water is 1, then 1 kg of water is equivalent to 1 liter and 1 gallon is approximately equal to 3.785 liters. Therefore, for liquid B, the cost is 120 USD/kg = 120 USD/liter = 454 USD/gallon. However, if the specific gravity of the

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.
