Convert cubit to inch

Learn how to convert 1 cubit to inch step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c u b i t) = x (i n c h)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (c u b i t) = 0.4572 (m e t e r) = 0.4572 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (i n c h) = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} (m e t e r) = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c u b i t) = x (i n c h)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.4572 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.4572 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.4572 \cdot (m) = x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.4572 = x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}

Switch sides

x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} = 0.4572

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}})

x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}} = 0.4572 \times \frac{1.0}{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}}

Cancel

x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}} = 0.4572 \times \frac{1.0}{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.4572}{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} can be rewritten to 10^{2}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{2} \times 0.4572}{2.5400051}

Solve

x

x \approx 17.999963858 \approx 18

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c u b i t) \approx 18 (i n c h)
