Convert bolt to square chain

Learn how to convert 1 bolt to square chain step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (b o l t) = x (s q u a r e c h a i n)

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 (b o l t) = 139.355 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 139.355 (m^{2})

Right side: 1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) = 929.0304 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 929.0304 (m^{2})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (b o l t) = x (s q u a r e c h a i n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 139.355 \times (s q u a r e m e t e r) = x \times 929.0304 \times (s q u a r e m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 139.355 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \cdot 929.0304 \cdot (m^{2})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 139.355 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \times 929.0304 \times (m^{2})

Conversion Equation

139.355 = x \times 929.0304

Switch sides

x \times 929.0304 = 139.355

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{929.0304})

x \times 929.0304 \times \frac{1.0}{929.0304} = 139.355 \times \frac{1.0}{929.0304}

Cancel

x \times 929.0304 \times \frac{1.0}{929.0304} = 139.355 \times \frac{1.0}{929.0304}

Simplify

x = \frac{139.355}{929.0304}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.1500004736 \approx 1.5 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (b o l t) \approx 1.5 \times 10^{- 1} (s q u a r e c h a i n)
