Convert ken(間) to linear meter

Learn how to convert 1 ken(間) to linear meter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (k e n (間)) = x (l i n e a r m e t 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 (k e n (間)) = \frac{20.0}{11.0} (m e t e r) = \frac{20.0}{11.0} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (l i n e a r m e t e r) = 1.0 (m e t e r) = 1.0 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (k e n (間)) = x (l i n e a r m e t e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{20.0}{11.0} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 1.0 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{20.0}{11.0} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{20.0}{11.0} \cdot (m) = x \times 1.0 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

\frac{20.0}{11.0} = x \times 1.0

Simplify

\frac{20.0}{11.0} = x

Switch sides

x = \frac{20.0}{11.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 1.8181818182 \approx 1.8182

Conversion Equation

1.0 (k e n (間)) \approx 1.8182 (l i n e a r m e t e r)
