Convert inch to rod

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (i n c h) = x (r o d)

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 (r o d) = 5.0292 (m e t e r) = 5.0292 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (i n c h) = x (r o d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 5.0292 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 5.0292 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \times 5.0292 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 5.0292

Switch sides

x \times 5.0292 = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{5.0292})

x \times 5.0292 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292} = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292}

Cancel

x \times 5.0292 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292} = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}}{5.0292}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0050505152 \approx 5.0505 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (i n c h) \approx 5.0505 \times 10^{- 3} (r o d)
