Convert linear yard to nail

Learn how to convert 1 linear yard to nail step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (l i n e a r y a r d) = x (n a i l)

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 y a r d) = 0.9144 (m e t e r) = 0.9144 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (n a i l) = 0.05715 (m e t e r) = 0.05715 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (l i n e a r y a r d) = x (n a i l)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.9144 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.05715 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.9144 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.05715 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.9144 \cdot (m) = x \times 0.05715 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.9144 = x \times 0.05715

Switch sides

x \times 0.05715 = 0.9144

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.05715})

x \times 0.05715 \times \frac{1.0}{0.05715} = 0.9144 \times \frac{1.0}{0.05715}

Cancel

x \times 0.05715 \times \frac{1.0}{0.05715} = 0.9144 \times \frac{1.0}{0.05715}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.9144}{0.05715}

Solve

x

x = 16

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l i n e a r y a r d) = 16 (n a i l)
