Convert football field to furlong

Learn how to convert 1 football field to furlong step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f o o t b a l l f i e l d) = x (f u r l o n g)

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 b a l l f i e l d) = 100.584 (m e t e r) = 100.584 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (f u r l o n g) = 201.168 (m e t e r) = 201.168 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f o o t b a l l f i e l d) = x (f u r l o n g)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 100.584 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 201.168 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 100.584 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 201.168 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 100.584 \cdot (m) = x \times 201.168 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

100.584 = x \times 201.168

Switch sides

x \times 201.168 = 100.584

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{201.168})

x \times 201.168 \times \frac{1.0}{201.168} = 100.584 \times \frac{1.0}{201.168}

Cancel

x \times 201.168 \times \frac{1.0}{201.168} = 100.584 \times \frac{1.0}{201.168}

Simplify

x = \frac{100.584}{201.168}

Solve

x

x = 5 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f o o t b a l l f i e l d) = 5 \times 10^{- 1} (f u r l o n g)
