How to calculate the hot-rolled coil steel to polyethylene ratio
Hot-Rolled Coil Steel to Polyethylene ratio = Hot-Rolled Coil Steel price per Metric Ton ÷ Polyethylene price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of polyethylene per Metric Ton of hot-rolled coil steel — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $1,196.04 ÷ $7,818.00 = 0.1530. The inverse is 6.537.
