Convert fathom to yard

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f a t h o m) = x (y a r d)

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 (y a r d) = 0.9144 (m e t e r) = 0.9144 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f a t h o m) = x (y a r d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.8288 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.9144 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.8288 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.9144 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.8288 \cdot (m) = x \times 0.9144 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

1.8288 = x \times 0.9144

Switch sides

x \times 0.9144 = 1.8288

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.9144})

x \times 0.9144 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9144} = 1.8288 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9144}

Cancel

x \times 0.9144 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9144} = 1.8288 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9144}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.8288}{0.9144}

Solve

x

x = 2

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f a t h o m) = 2 (y a r d)
