Convert inch to pica

Learn how to convert 1 inch to pica step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(inch\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(pica\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(meter\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(inch\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.5400051 \times 10^{-2}\left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.5400051 \times 10^{-2}\left(m\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(pica\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-3}\left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-3}\left(m\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(inch\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(pica\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.5400051 \times 10^{-2}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-3}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(meter\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.5400051 \times 10^{-2}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(m\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-3}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(m\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.5400051 \times 10^{-2}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(m\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-3}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(m\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(2.5400051 \times 10^{-2} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-3}\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\(2.5400051 \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{-2}}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 4.21751764217518 \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancelto{10^{-1}}{10^{-3}}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(2.5400051 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-1}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-1} = 2.5400051\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-1}}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-1} \times \dfrac{1.0}{4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-1}} = 2.5400051 \times \dfrac{1.0}{4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-1}}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{4.21751764217518}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{10^{-1}}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{4.21751764217518}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{10^{-1}}}} = 2.5400051 \times \dfrac{1.0}{4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-1}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{2.5400051}{4.21751764217518 \times 10^{-1}}\)
Rewrite equation
\(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{-1}}\text{ can be rewritten to }10\)
\(\text{Rewrite}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{10.0 \times 2.5400051}{4.21751764217518}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx6.0225120924\approx6.0225\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(inch\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 6.0225}\left(pica\right)\)
