Convert chain to football field

Learn how to convert 1 chain to football field step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (f o o t b a l l f i e l d)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (c h a i n) = 30.48 (m e t e r) = 30.48 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (f o o t b a l l f i e l d) = 100.584 (m e t e r) = 100.584 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (f o o t b a l l f i e l d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 30.48 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 100.584 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 30.48 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 100.584 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 30.48 \cdot (m) = x \times 100.584 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

30.48 = x \times 100.584

Switch sides

x \times 100.584 = 30.48

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{100.584})

x \times 100.584 \times \frac{1.0}{100.584} = 30.48 \times \frac{1.0}{100.584}

Cancel

x \times 100.584 \times \frac{1.0}{100.584} = 30.48 \times \frac{1.0}{100.584}

Simplify

x = \frac{30.48}{100.584}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.303030303 \approx 3.0303 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c h a i n) \approx 3.0303 \times 10^{- 1} (f o o t b a l l f i e l d)
