Convert light-year to football field

Learn how to convert 1 light-year to football field step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (l i g h t - y e a r) = x (f o o t b a l l f i e l d)

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 g h t - y e a r) = 9.4607304725808 \times 10^{15} (m e t e r) = 9.4607304725808 \times 10^{15} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (f o o t b a l l f i e l d) = 91.44 (m e t e r) = 91.44 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (l i g h t - y e a r) = x (f o o t b a l l f i e l d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 9.4607304725808 \times 10^{15} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 91.44 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 9.4607304725808 \times 10^{15} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 91.44 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 9.4607304725808 \times 10^{15} \cdot (m) = x \times 91.44 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

9.4607304725808 \times 10^{15} = x \times 91.44

Switch sides

x \times 91.44 = 9.4607304725808 \times 10^{15}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{91.44})

x \times 91.44 \times \frac{1.0}{91.44} = 9.4607304725808 \times 10^{15} \times \frac{1.0}{91.44}

Cancel

x \times 91.44 \times \frac{1.0}{91.44} = 9.4607304725808 \times 10^{15} \times \frac{1.0}{91.44}

Simplify

x = \frac{9.4607304725808 \times 10^{15}}{91.44}

Solve

x

x \approx 1.0346380657 \times 10^{14} \approx 1.0346 \times 10^{14}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l i g h t - y e a r) \approx 1.0346 \times 10^{14} (f o o t b a l l f i e l d)
