Convert gauge to finger

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (g a u g e) = x (f i n g e r)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (g a u g e) = 1.435 (m e t e r) = 1.435 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (f i n g e r) = 0.1143 (m e t e r) = 0.1143 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (g a u g e) = x (f i n g e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.435 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.1143 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.435 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.1143 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.435 \cdot (m) = x \times 0.1143 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

1.435 = x \times 0.1143

Switch sides

x \times 0.1143 = 1.435

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.1143})

x \times 0.1143 \times \frac{1.0}{0.1143} = 1.435 \times \frac{1.0}{0.1143}

Cancel

x \times 0.1143 \times \frac{1.0}{0.1143} = 1.435 \times \frac{1.0}{0.1143}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.435}{0.1143}

Solve

x

x \approx 12.554680665 \approx 12.5547

Conversion Equation

1.0 (g a u g e) \approx 12.5547 (f i n g e r)
