Convert digit to cable length

Learn how to convert 1 digit to cable length step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (d i g i t) = x (c a b l e l e n g t h)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (d i g i t) = 1.9 \times 10^{- 2} (m e t e r) = 1.9 \times 10^{- 2} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (c a b l e l e n g t h) = 219.456 (m e t e r) = 219.456 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (d i g i t) = x (c a b l e l e n g t h)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.9 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 219.456 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.9 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 219.456 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.9 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \times 219.456 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

1.9 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 219.456

Switch sides

x \times 219.456 = 1.9 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{219.456})

x \times 219.456 \times \frac{1.0}{219.456} = 1.9 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{219.456}

Cancel

x \times 219.456 \times \frac{1.0}{219.456} = 1.9 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{219.456}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.9 \times 10^{- 2}}{219.456}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000865777 \approx 8.6578 \times 10^{- 5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (d i g i t) \approx 8.6578 \times 10^{- 5} (c a b l e l e n g t h)
