Convert finger to chain

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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

(m e t e r)

Left 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)

Right side: 1.0 (c h a i n) = 20.0 (m e t e r) = 20.0 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 20.0 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 20.0 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \times 20.0 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 20.0

Switch sides

x \times 20.0 = 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{20.0})

x \times 20.0 \times \frac{1.0}{20.0} = 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{20.0}

Cancel

x \times 20.0 \times \frac{1.0}{20.0} = 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{20.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.2225 \times 10^{- 2}}{20.0}

Solve

x

x = 0.00111125 \approx 1.1112 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f i n g e r) \approx 1.1112 \times 10^{- 3} (c h a i n)
