Convert mile to link

Learn how to convert 1 mile to link step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (m i l e) = x (l i n k)

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 l e) = 1609.34721869444 (m e t e r) = 1609.34721869444 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (l i n k) = 0.3048 (m e t e r) = 0.3048 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (m i l e) = x (l i n k)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1609.34721869444 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.3048 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1609.34721869444 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.3048 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1609.34721869444 \cdot (m) = x \times 0.3048 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

1609.34721869444 = x \times 0.3048

Switch sides

x \times 0.3048 = 1609.34721869444

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.3048})

x \times 0.3048 \times \frac{1.0}{0.3048} = 1609.34721869444 \times \frac{1.0}{0.3048}

Cancel

x \times 0.3048 \times \frac{1.0}{0.3048} = 1609.34721869444 \times \frac{1.0}{0.3048}

Simplify

x = \frac{1609.34721869444}{0.3048}

Solve

x

x \approx 5280.01056 \approx 5.28 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (m i l e) \approx 5.28 \times 10^{3} (l i n k)
