Convert hand to nail

Learn how to convert 1 hand to nail step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (h a n d) = x (n a i l)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (h a n d) = 0.1016 (m e t e r) = 0.1016 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (n a i l) = 0.05715 (m e t e r) = 0.05715 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (h a n d) = x (n a i l)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.1016 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.05715 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.1016 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.05715 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.1016 \cdot (m) = x \times 0.05715 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.1016 = x \times 0.05715

Switch sides

x \times 0.05715 = 0.1016

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.05715})

x \times 0.05715 \times \frac{1.0}{0.05715} = 0.1016 \times \frac{1.0}{0.05715}

Cancel

x \times 0.05715 \times \frac{1.0}{0.05715} = 0.1016 \times \frac{1.0}{0.05715}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.1016}{0.05715}

Solve

x

x \approx 1.7777777778 \approx 1.7778

Conversion Equation

1.0 (h a n d) \approx 1.7778 (n a i l)
