Convert micron to foot

Learn how to convert 1 micron to foot step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (m i c r o n) = x (f o o t)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (m i c r o n) = 10^{- 6} (m e t e r) = 10^{- 6} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (f o o t) = 0.304800609601219 (m e t e r) = 0.304800609601219 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (m i c r o n) = x (f o o t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{- 6} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.304800609601219 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{- 6} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.304800609601219 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 10^{- 6} \cdot (m) = x \times 0.304800609601219 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

10^{- 6} = x \times 0.304800609601219

Switch sides

x \times 0.304800609601219 = 10^{- 6}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.304800609601219})

x \times 0.304800609601219 \times \frac{1.0}{0.304800609601219} = 10^{- 6} \times \frac{1.0}{0.304800609601219}

Cancel

x \times 0.304800609601219 \times \frac{1.0}{0.304800609601219} = 10^{- 6} \times \frac{1.0}{0.304800609601219}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 6}}{0.304800609601219}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000032808 \approx 3.2808 \times 10^{- 6}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (m i c r o n) \approx 3.2808 \times 10^{- 6} (f o o t)
