linear inch to
chain
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(linear \text{ } inch\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(chain\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(meter\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(linear \text{ } inch\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 0.0254\left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 0.0254\left(m\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(chain\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 20.1168\left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 20.1168\left(m\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(linear \text{ } inch\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(chain\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 0.0254} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 20.1168}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(meter\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 0.0254} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(m\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 20.1168} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(m\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 0.0254} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(m\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 20.1168} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(m\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(0.0254 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 20.1168\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 20.1168 = 0.0254\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{20.1168}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 20.1168 \times \dfrac{1.0}{20.1168} = 0.0254 \times \dfrac{1.0}{20.1168}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{20.1168}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{20.1168}}} = 0.0254 \times \dfrac{1.0}{20.1168}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{0.0254}{20.1168}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx0.0012626263\approx1.2626 \times 10^{-3}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(linear \text{ } inch\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 1.2626 \times 10^{-3}}\left(chain\right)\)
