Convert arpent to acre

Learn how to convert 1 arpent to acre step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (a r p e n t) = x (a c r e)

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

(s q u a r e m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (a r p e n t) = 3418.74 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 3418.74 (m^{2})

Right side: 1.0 (a c r e) = 10^{4} (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 10^{4} (m^{2})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (a r p e n t) = x (a c r e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 3418.74 \times (s q u a r e m e t e r) = x \times 10^{4} \times (s q u a r e m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 3418.74 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \cdot 10^{4} \cdot (m^{2})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 3418.74 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \times 10^{4} \times (m^{2})

Conversion Equation

3418.74 = x \times 10^{4}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{4} = 3418.74

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{4}})

x \times 10^{4} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{4}} = 3418.74 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{4}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{4} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{4}} = 3418.74 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{4}}

Simplify

x = \frac{3418.74}{10^{4}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{4}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 4}

Rewrite

x = 10^{- 4} \times 3418.74

Solve

x

x = 0.341874 \approx 3.4187 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (a r p e n t) \approx 3.4187 \times 10^{- 1} (a c r e)
