Convert fathom to point

Learn how to convert 1 fathom to point step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f a t h o m) = 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 (f a t h o m) = 1.8288 (m e t e r) = 1.8288 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (p o i n t) = \frac{0.352425}{999.0} (m e t e r) = \frac{0.352425}{999.0} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f a t h o m) = x (p o i n t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.8288 \times (m e t e r) = x \times \frac{0.352425}{999.0} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.8288 \cdot (m) = x \cdot \frac{0.352425}{999.0} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.8288 \cdot (m) = x \times \frac{0.352425}{999.0} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

1.8288 = x \times \frac{0.352425}{999.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{0.352425}{999.0} = 1.8288

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{999.0}{0.352425})

x \times \frac{0.352425}{999.0} \times \frac{999.0}{0.352425} = 1.8288 \times \frac{999.0}{0.352425}

Cancel

x \times \frac{0.352425 \times 999.0}{999.0 \times 0.352425} = 1.8288 \times \frac{999.0}{0.352425}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.8288 \times 999.0}{0.352425}

Solve

x

x = 5184 = 5.184 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f a t h o m) = 5.184 \times 10^{3} (p o i n t)
