Convert fall to finger

Learn how to convert 1 fall to finger step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f a l l) = x (f i n g e r)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (f a l l) = 5.67 (m e t e r) = 5.67 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (f i n g e r) = 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} (m e t e r) = 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f a l l) = x (f i n g e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 5.67 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 5.67 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 5.67 \cdot (m) = x \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

5.67 = x \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2}

Switch sides

x \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} = 5.67

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.2225 \times 10^{- 2}})

x \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2.2225 \times 10^{- 2}} = 5.67 \times \frac{1.0}{2.2225 \times 10^{- 2}}

Cancel

x \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2.2225 \times 10^{- 2}} = 5.67 \times \frac{1.0}{2.2225 \times 10^{- 2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.67}{2.2225 \times 10^{- 2}}

Rewrite equation

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

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{2} \times 5.67}{2.2225}

Solve

x

x \approx 255.11811024 \approx 2.5512 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f a l l) \approx 2.5512 \times 10^{2} (f i n g e r)
