Convert mile to tenth meter

Learn how to convert 1 mile to tenth meter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (m i l e) = x (t e n t h m e t e r)

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) = 1853.184 (m e t e r) = 1853.184 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (t e n t h m e t e r) = 10^{- 10} (m e t e r) = 10^{- 10} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (m i l e) = x (t e n t h m e t e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1853.184 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 10^{- 10} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1853.184 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 10^{- 10} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1853.184 \cdot (m) = x \times 10^{- 10} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

1853.184 = x \times 10^{- 10}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{- 10} = 1853.184

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{- 10}})

x \times 10^{- 10} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 10}} = 1853.184 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 10}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{- 10} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 10}} = 1853.184 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 10}}

Simplify

x = \frac{1853.184}{10^{- 10}}

Rewrite equation

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

Rewrite

x = 10^{10} \times 1853.184

Solve

x

x = 1.853184 \times 10^{13} \approx 1.8532 \times 10^{13}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (m i l e) \approx 1.8532 \times 10^{13} (t e n t h m e t e r)
