Convert inch to finger

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (i n c h) = 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 (i n c h) = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} (m e t e r) = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (f i n g e r) = 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} (m e t e r) = 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (i n c h) = x (f i n g e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 2.2225 \times 10^{- 2}

Simplify

2.5400051 = x \times 2.2225

Switch sides

x \times 2.2225 = 2.5400051

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.2225})

x \times 2.2225 \times \frac{1.0}{2.2225} = 2.5400051 \times \frac{1.0}{2.2225}

Cancel

x \times 2.2225 \times \frac{1.0}{2.2225} = 2.5400051 \times \frac{1.0}{2.2225}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.5400051}{2.2225}

Solve

x

x \approx 1.1428594376 \approx 1.1429

Conversion Equation

1.0 (i n c h) \approx 1.1429 (f i n g e r)
