Convert chain to li(里)

Learn how to convert 1 chain to li(里) step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (l i (里))

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) = 20.0 (m e t e r) = 20.0 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (l i (里)) = 5.0 \times 10^{2} (m e t e r) = 5.0 \times 10^{2} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (l i (里))

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 20.0 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 5.0 \times 10^{2} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 20.0 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 5.0 \times 10^{2} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 20.0 \cdot (m) = x \times 5.0 \times 10^{2} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

20.0 = x \times 5.0 \times 10^{2}

Switch sides

x \times 5.0 \times 10^{2} = 20.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{5.0 \times 10^{2}})

x \times 5.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{5.0 \times 10^{2}} = 20.0 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0 \times 10^{2}}

Cancel

x \times 5.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{5.0 \times 10^{2}} = 20.0 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0 \times 10^{2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{20.0}{5.0 \times 10^{2}}

Rewrite equation

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

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 2} \times 20.0}{5.0}

Solve

x

x = 4 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c h a i n) = 4 \times 10^{- 2} (l i (里))
