inch / hour to
yard / minute
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{inch}{hour}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{yard}{minute}\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(\dfrac{meter}{second}\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{inch}{hour}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{2.54 \times 10^{-2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}\left(\dfrac{meter}{second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{2.54 \times 10^{-2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}\left(\dfrac{m}{s}\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{yard}{minute}\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{0.9144}{60.0}\left(\dfrac{meter}{second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{0.9144}{60.0}\left(\dfrac{m}{s}\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{inch}{hour}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{yard}{minute}\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{2.54 \times 10^{-2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{meter}{second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{0.9144}{60.0}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{meter}{second}\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{2.54 \times 10^{-2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{m}{s}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{0.9144}{60.0}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{m}{s}\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{2.54 \times 10^{-2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{m}{s}\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{0.9144}{60.0}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{m}{s}\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(\dfrac{2.54 \times 10^{-2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{0.9144}{60.0}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{0.9144}{60.0} = \dfrac{2.54 \times 10^{-2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{60.0}{0.9144}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{0.9144}{60.0} \times \dfrac{60.0}{0.9144} = \dfrac{2.54 \times 10^{-2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \dfrac{60.0}{0.9144}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{0.9144}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{60.0}}}{{\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{60.0}} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{0.9144}}} = \dfrac{2.54 \times 10^{-2} \times 60.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 0.9144}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{2.54 \times 10^{-2} \times 60.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 0.9144}\)
Rewrite equation
\(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{3}}\text{ can be rewritten to }10^{-3}\)
\(\text{Rewrite}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{10^{-3} \times 2.54 \times 10^{-2} \times 60.0}{3.6 \times 0.9144}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{10^{-5} \times 2.54 \times 60.0}{3.6 \times 0.9144}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx0.000462963\approx4.6296 \times 10^{-4}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{inch}{hour}\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 4.6296 \times 10^{-4}}\left(\dfrac{yard}{minute}\right)\)
