Convert chain to point

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (p o i n t)

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 (p o i n t) = \frac{0.352425}{999.0} (m e t e r) = \frac{0.352425}{999.0} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (p o i n t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 20.0 \times (m e t e r) = x \times \frac{0.352425}{999.0} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 20.0 \cdot (m) = x \cdot \frac{0.352425}{999.0} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 20.0 \cdot (m) = x \times \frac{0.352425}{999.0} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

20.0 = x \times \frac{0.352425}{999.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{0.352425}{999.0} = 20.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{999.0}{0.352425})

x \times \frac{0.352425}{999.0} \times \frac{999.0}{0.352425} = 20.0 \times \frac{999.0}{0.352425}

Cancel

x \times \frac{0.352425 \times 999.0}{999.0 \times 0.352425} = 20.0 \times \frac{999.0}{0.352425}

Simplify

x = \frac{20.0 \times 999.0}{0.352425}

Solve

x

x \approx 56692.913386 \approx 5.6693 \times 10^{4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c h a i n) \approx 5.6693 \times 10^{4} (p o i n t)
