Convert cun(公寸) to point

Learn how to convert 1 cun(公寸) to point step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c u n (公 寸)) = 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 u n (公 寸)) = 10^{- 1} (m e t e r) = 10^{- 1} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (p o i n t) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m e t e r) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c u n (公 寸)) = x (p o i n t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{- 1} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{- 1} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 10^{- 1} \cdot (m) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

10^{- 1} = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

10^{- 1} = x \times 2.54 \times {10^{- 5}}^{10^{- 4}}

Simplify

1.0 = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 4}

Switch sides

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} = 1.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 4}})

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 4}} = \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 4}}

Cancel

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 4}} = \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 4}}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 4}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 4}} can be rewritten to 10^{4}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{4}}{2.54}

Solve

x

x \approx 3937.007874 \approx 3.937 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c u n (公 寸)) \approx 3.937 \times 10^{3} (p o i n t)
