Convert arpent length to cubit

Learn how to convert 1 arpent length to cubit step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (a r p e n t l e n g t h) = x (c u b i t)

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 p e n t l e n g t h) = 58.5216 (m e t e r) = 58.5216 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (c u b i t) = 0.4572 (m e t e r) = 0.4572 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (a r p e n t l e n g t h) = x (c u b i t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 58.5216 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.4572 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 58.5216 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.4572 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 58.5216 \cdot (m) = x \times 0.4572 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

58.5216 = x \times 0.4572

Switch sides

x \times 0.4572 = 58.5216

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.4572})

x \times 0.4572 \times \frac{1.0}{0.4572} = 58.5216 \times \frac{1.0}{0.4572}

Cancel

x \times 0.4572 \times \frac{1.0}{0.4572} = 58.5216 \times \frac{1.0}{0.4572}

Simplify

x = \frac{58.5216}{0.4572}

Solve

x

x = 128 = 1.28 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (a r p e n t l e n g t h) = 1.28 \times 10^{2} (c u b i t)
