Convert li(里) to arpent length

Learn how to convert 1 li(里) to arpent length step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (l i (里)) = x (a r p e n t l e n g t h)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (l i (里)) = 5.0 \times 10^{2} (m e t e r) = 5.0 \times 10^{2} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (a r p e n t l e n g t h) = 58.5216 (m e t e r) = 58.5216 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (l i (里)) = x (a r p e n t l e n g t h)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 5.0 \times 10^{2} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 58.5216 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 5.0 \times 10^{2} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 58.5216 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 5.0 \times 10^{2} \cdot (m) = x \times 58.5216 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

5.0 \times 10^{2} = x \times 58.5216

Switch sides

x \times 58.5216 = 5.0 \times 10^{2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{58.5216})

x \times 58.5216 \times \frac{1.0}{58.5216} = 5.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{58.5216}

Cancel

x \times 58.5216 \times \frac{1.0}{58.5216} = 5.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{58.5216}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0 \times 10^{2}}{58.5216}

Solve

x

x \approx 8.5438538933 \approx 8.5439

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l i (里)) \approx 8.5439 (a r p e n t l e n g t h)
