Convert inch / (hour • second) to mile / square second

Learn how to convert 1 inch / (hour • second) to mile / square second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{i n c h}{h o u r \times s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{m i l e}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

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

(\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{i n c h}{h o u r \times s e c o n d}) = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{m i l e}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 1609.344 (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 1609.344 (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{i n c h}{h o u r \times s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{m i l e}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = x \times 1609.344 \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \cdot 1609.344 \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \times 1609.344 \times (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x \times 1609.344

Switch sides

x \times 1609.344 = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1609.344})

x \times 1609.344 \times \frac{1.0}{1609.344} = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{1.0}{1609.344}

Cancel

x \times 1609.344 \times \frac{1.0}{1609.344} = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \times 1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 1609.344}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 1609.344}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{3}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 3} \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{3.6 \times 1609.344}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 5} \times 2.54}{3.6 \times 1609.344}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000000044 \approx 4.3841 \times 10^{- 9}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{i n c h}{h o u r \times s e c o n d}) \approx 4.3841 \times 10^{- 9} (\frac{m i l e}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})
