Convert foot to perch

Learn how to convert 1 foot to perch step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f o o t) = x (p e r 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 o o t) = 0.3048 (m e t e r) = 0.3048 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (p e r c h) = 5.0292 (m e t e r) = 5.0292 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f o o t) = x (p e r c h)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.3048 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 5.0292 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.3048 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 5.0292 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.3048 \cdot (m) = x \times 5.0292 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.3048 = x \times 5.0292

Switch sides

x \times 5.0292 = 0.3048

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{5.0292})

x \times 5.0292 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292} = 0.3048 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292}

Cancel

x \times 5.0292 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292} = 0.3048 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.3048}{5.0292}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0606060606 \approx 6.0606 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f o o t) \approx 6.0606 \times 10^{- 2} (p e r c h)
