How to Convert pound/cubic yard to ton (short)/cubic yard
1 pound/cubic yard [lb/yd^3] = 0.0005 ton (short)/cubic yard
1 ton (short)/cubic yard = 2000 pound/cubic yard [lb/yd^3]
we use cross multiplication method
pound/cubic yard [lb/yd^3] → ton (short)/cubic yard
1 → 0.0005
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.0005=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.00075
