Convert foot to toise

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f o o t) = x (t o i s e)

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) = 0.304800609601219 (m e t e r) = 0.304800609601219 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (t o i s e) = 1.8 (m e t e r) = 1.8 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f o o t) = x (t o i s e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.304800609601219 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 1.8 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.304800609601219 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 1.8 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.304800609601219 \cdot (m) = x \times 1.8 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.304800609601219 = x \times 1.8

Switch sides

x \times 1.8 = 0.304800609601219

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.8})

x \times 1.8 \times \frac{1.0}{1.8} = 0.304800609601219 \times \frac{1.0}{1.8}

Cancel

x \times 1.8 \times \frac{1.0}{1.8} = 0.304800609601219 \times \frac{1.0}{1.8}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.304800609601219}{1.8}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.169333672 \approx 1.6933 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f o o t) \approx 1.6933 \times 10^{- 1} (t o i s e)
