Dynamite equation according to the New Hampshire State Library: One pound of waste fat equaled 1/10 of a pound of glycerine. 1/10 pound of glycerine equaled 1/5 of a pound of nitroglycerine. 1/5 of a pound of nitroglycerine equaled 1/3 pound of gunpowder. 1/5 of a pound of nitroglycerine equaled ½ pound of dynamite.
