Convert inch to mile

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (i n c h) = x (m i l e)

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 (m i l e) = 2048.256 (m e t e r) = 2048.256 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (i n c h) = x (m i l e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 2048.256 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 2048.256 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \times 2048.256 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 2048.256

Switch sides

x \times 2048.256 = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2048.256})

x \times 2048.256 \times \frac{1.0}{2048.256} = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2048.256}

Cancel

x \times 2048.256 \times \frac{1.0}{2048.256} = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2048.256}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}}{2048.256}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000124008 \approx 1.2401 \times 10^{- 5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (i n c h) \approx 1.2401 \times 10^{- 5} (m i l e)
