Convert linear meter to arm length

Learn how to convert 1 linear meter to arm length step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

Right side: 1.0 (a r m l e n g t h) = 0.7 (m e t e r) = 0.7 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.0 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.7 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.0 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.7 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.0 \cdot (m) = x \times 0.7 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

1.0 = x \times 0.7

Simplify

1.0 = x \times 0.7

Switch sides

x \times 0.7 = 1.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.7})

x \times 0.7 \times \frac{1.0}{0.7} = 1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{0.7}

Cancel

x \times 0.7 \times \frac{1.0}{0.7} = 1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{0.7}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.0}{0.7}

Solve

x

x \approx 1.4285714286 \approx 1.4286

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l i n e a r m e t e r) \approx 1.4286 (a r m l e n g t h)
