Convert arm length to hand

Learn how to convert 1 arm length to hand step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (a r m l e n g t h) = x (h a n d)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (a r m l e n g t h) = 0.7 (m e t e r) = 0.7 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (h a n d) = 0.1016 (m e t e r) = 0.1016 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (a r m l e n g t h) = x (h a n d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.7 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.1016 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.7 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.1016 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.7 \cdot (m) = x \times 0.1016 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.7 = x \times 0.1016

Switch sides

x \times 0.1016 = 0.7

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.1016})

x \times 0.1016 \times \frac{1.0}{0.1016} = 0.7 \times \frac{1.0}{0.1016}

Cancel

x \times 0.1016 \times \frac{1.0}{0.1016} = 0.7 \times \frac{1.0}{0.1016}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.7}{0.1016}

Solve

x

x \approx 6.8897637795 \approx 6.8898

Conversion Equation

1.0 (a r m l e n g t h) \approx 6.8898 (h a n d)
