Convert finger to linear inch

Learn how to convert 1 finger to linear inch step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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 (l i n e a r i n c h) = 0.0254 (m e t e r) = 0.0254 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.0254 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.0254 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \times 0.0254 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 0.0254

Switch sides

x \times 0.0254 = 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.0254})

x \times 0.0254 \times \frac{1.0}{0.0254} = 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{0.0254}

Cancel

x \times 0.0254 \times \frac{1.0}{0.0254} = 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{0.0254}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.2225 \times 10^{- 2}}{0.0254}

Solve

x

x = 0.875 = 8.75 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f i n g e r) = 8.75 \times 10^{- 1} (l i n e a r i n c h)
