How to calculate the polypropylene to ethanol ratio
Polypropylene to Ethanol ratio = Polypropylene price per Metric Ton ÷ Ethanol price per Gallon
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Gallons of ethanol per Metric Ton of polypropylene — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $8,099.00 ÷ $2.12 = 3820. The inverse is 0.0002618.
