Convert hand to toise

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

Right side: 1.0 (t o i s e) = 1.949 (m e t e r) = 1.949 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (h a n d) = x (t o i s e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.1016 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 1.949 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.1016 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 1.949 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.1016 \cdot (m) = x \times 1.949 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.1016 = x \times 1.949

Switch sides

x \times 1.949 = 0.1016

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.949})

x \times 1.949 \times \frac{1.0}{1.949} = 0.1016 \times \frac{1.0}{1.949}

Cancel

x \times 1.949 \times \frac{1.0}{1.949} = 0.1016 \times \frac{1.0}{1.949}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.1016}{1.949}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0521292971 \approx 5.2129 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (h a n d) \approx 5.2129 \times 10^{- 2} (t o i s e)
