Convert link to linear yard

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (l i n k) = x (l i n e a r y a r 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 n k) = 0.3048 (m e t e r) = 0.3048 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (l i n e a r y a r d) = 0.9144 (m e t e r) = 0.9144 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.3048 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.9144 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.3048 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.9144 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.3048 \cdot (m) = x \times 0.9144 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.3048 = x \times 0.9144

Switch sides

x \times 0.9144 = 0.3048

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.9144})

x \times 0.9144 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9144} = 0.3048 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9144}

Cancel

x \times 0.9144 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9144} = 0.3048 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9144}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.3048}{0.9144}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.3333333333 \approx 3.3333 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l i n k) \approx 3.3333 \times 10^{- 1} (l i n e a r y a r d)
