Convert cable length to palm

Learn how to convert 1 cable length to palm step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c a b l e l e n g t h) = x (p a l m)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (c a b l e l e n g t h) = 185.3184 (m e t e r) = 185.3184 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (p a l m) = 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} (m e t e r) = 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c a b l e l e n g t h) = x (p a l m)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 185.3184 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 185.3184 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 185.3184 \cdot (m) = x \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

185.3184 = x \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2}

Switch sides

x \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} = 185.3184

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{7.62 \times 10^{- 2}})

x \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{7.62 \times 10^{- 2}} = 185.3184 \times \frac{1.0}{7.62 \times 10^{- 2}}

Cancel

x \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{7.62 \times 10^{- 2}} = 185.3184 \times \frac{1.0}{7.62 \times 10^{- 2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{185.3184}{7.62 \times 10^{- 2}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} can be rewritten to 10^{2}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{2} \times 185.3184}{7.62}

Solve

x

x = 2432 = 2.432 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c a b l e l e n g t h) = 2.432 \times 10^{3} (p a l m)
