Convert chain to pie

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (p i 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 (p i e) = 0.2786 (m e t e r) = 0.2786 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (p i e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 30.48 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.2786 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 30.48 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.2786 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 30.48 \cdot (m) = x \times 0.2786 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

30.48 = x \times 0.2786

Switch sides

x \times 0.2786 = 30.48

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.2786})

x \times 0.2786 \times \frac{1.0}{0.2786} = 30.48 \times \frac{1.0}{0.2786}

Cancel

x \times 0.2786 \times \frac{1.0}{0.2786} = 30.48 \times \frac{1.0}{0.2786}

Simplify

x = \frac{30.48}{0.2786}

Solve

x

x \approx 109.40416368 \approx 1.094 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c h a i n) \approx 1.094 \times 10^{2} (p i e)
