Convert chain to rope

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (r o p 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) = 20.1168 (m e t e r) = 20.1168 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (r o p e) = 6.096 (m e t e r) = 6.096 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 20.1168 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 6.096 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 20.1168 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 6.096 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 20.1168 \cdot (m) = x \times 6.096 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

20.1168 = x \times 6.096

Switch sides

x \times 6.096 = 20.1168

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{6.096})

x \times 6.096 \times \frac{1.0}{6.096} = 20.1168 \times \frac{1.0}{6.096}

Cancel

x \times 6.096 \times \frac{1.0}{6.096} = 20.1168 \times \frac{1.0}{6.096}

Simplify

x = \frac{20.1168}{6.096}

Solve

x

x = 3.3

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c h a i n) = 3.3 (r o p e)
