Convert chain to mile

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (m i l 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) = 20.0 (m e t e r) = 20.0 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (m i l e) = 1853.184 (m e t e r) = 1853.184 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 20.0 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 1853.184 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 20.0 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 1853.184 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 20.0 \cdot (m) = x \times 1853.184 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

20.0 = x \times 1853.184

Switch sides

x \times 1853.184 = 20.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1853.184})

x \times 1853.184 \times \frac{1.0}{1853.184} = 20.0 \times \frac{1.0}{1853.184}

Cancel

x \times 1853.184 \times \frac{1.0}{1853.184} = 20.0 \times \frac{1.0}{1853.184}

Simplify

x = \frac{20.0}{1853.184}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0107922365 \approx 1.0792 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c h a i n) \approx 1.0792 \times 10^{- 2} (m i l e)
