Convert chain to ligne

Learn how to convert 1 chain to ligne step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (l i g n e)

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 (l i g n e) = \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} (m e t e r) = \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (l i g n e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 30.48 \times (m e t e r) = x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 30.48 \cdot (m) = x \cdot \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 30.48 \cdot (m) = x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

30.48 = x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} = 30.48

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{99.0}{0.2233275})

x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \times \frac{99.0}{0.2233275} = 30.48 \times \frac{99.0}{0.2233275}

Cancel

x \times \frac{0.2233275 \times 99.0}{99.0 \times 0.2233275} = 30.48 \times \frac{99.0}{0.2233275}

Simplify

x = \frac{30.48 \times 99.0}{0.2233275}

Solve

x

x \approx 13511.636498 \approx 1.3512 \times 10^{4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c h a i n) \approx 1.3512 \times 10^{4} (l i g n e)
