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.
