Convert mile to perch

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (m i l e) = x (p e r c h)

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) = 1609.344 (m e t e r) = 1609.344 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (p e r c h) = 5.0292 (m e t e r) = 5.0292 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (m i l e) = x (p e r c h)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1609.344 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 5.0292 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1609.344 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 5.0292 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1609.344 \cdot (m) = x \times 5.0292 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

1609.344 = x \times 5.0292

Switch sides

x \times 5.0292 = 1609.344

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{5.0292})

x \times 5.0292 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292} = 1609.344 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292}

Cancel

x \times 5.0292 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292} = 1609.344 \times \frac{1.0}{5.0292}

Simplify

x = \frac{1609.344}{5.0292}

Solve

x

x = 320 = 3.2 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (m i l e) = 3.2 \times 10^{2} (p e r c h)
