Convert finger to rod

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f i n g e r) = x (r o 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 i n g e r) = 0.1143 (m e t e r) = 0.1143 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (r o d) = 5.0292 (m e t e r) = 5.0292 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f i n g e r) = x (r o d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.1143 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 5.0292 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.1143 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 5.0292 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.1143 \cdot (m) = x \times 5.0292 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.1143 = x \times 5.0292

Switch sides

x \times 5.0292 = 0.1143

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{5.0292})

x \times 5.0292 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292} = 0.1143 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292}

Cancel

x \times 5.0292 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292} = 0.1143 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.1143}{5.0292}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0227272727 \approx 2.2727 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f i n g e r) \approx 2.2727 \times 10^{- 2} (r o d)
