caliber to
didot point
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(caliber\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(didot \text{ } point\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(meter\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(caliber\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.54 \times 10^{-4}\left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.54 \times 10^{-4}\left(m\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(didot \text{ } point\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 3.77 \times 10^{-4}\left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 3.77 \times 10^{-4}\left(m\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(caliber\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(didot \text{ } point\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.54 \times 10^{-4}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 3.77 \times 10^{-4}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(meter\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.54 \times 10^{-4}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(m\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 3.77 \times 10^{-4}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(m\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.54 \times 10^{-4}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(m\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 3.77 \times 10^{-4}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(m\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(2.54 \times 10^{-4} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 3.77 \times 10^{-4}\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\(2.54 \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{-4}}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 3.77 \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{-4}}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(2.54 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 3.77\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 3.77 = 2.54\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{3.77}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 3.77 \times \dfrac{1.0}{3.77} = 2.54 \times \dfrac{1.0}{3.77}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{3.77}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{3.77}}} = 2.54 \times \dfrac{1.0}{3.77}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{2.54}{3.77}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx0.673740053\approx6.7374 \times 10^{-1}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(caliber\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 6.7374 \times 10^{-1}}\left(didot \text{ } point\right)\)
