Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (l i n k) = x (l a p)

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 k) = 0.201168 (m e t e r) = 0.201168 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (l a p) = 4.0 \times 10^{2} (m e t e r) = 4.0 \times 10^{2} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (l i n k) = x (l a p)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.201168 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.201168 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 4.0 \times 10^{2} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.201168 \cdot (m) = x \times 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.201168 = x \times 4.0 \times 10^{2}

Switch sides

x \times 4.0 \times 10^{2} = 0.201168

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.0 \times 10^{2}})

x \times 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{4.0 \times 10^{2}} = 0.201168 \times \frac{1.0}{4.0 \times 10^{2}}

Cancel

x \times 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{4.0 \times 10^{2}} = 0.201168 \times \frac{1.0}{4.0 \times 10^{2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.201168}{4.0 \times 10^{2}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{2}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 2}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 2} \times 0.201168}{4.0}

Solve

x

x = 0.00050292 = 5.0292 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l i n k) = 5.0292 \times 10^{- 4} (l a p)
