Convert nail to mile

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (n a i l) = 0.05715 (m e t e r) = 0.05715 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (m i l e) = 1852.0 (m e t e r) = 1852.0 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.05715 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 1852.0 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.05715 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 1852.0 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.05715 \cdot (m) = x \times 1852.0 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.05715 = x \times 1852.0

Switch sides

x \times 1852.0 = 0.05715

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1852.0})

x \times 1852.0 \times \frac{1.0}{1852.0} = 0.05715 \times \frac{1.0}{1852.0}

Cancel

x \times 1852.0 \times \frac{1.0}{1852.0} = 0.05715 \times \frac{1.0}{1852.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.05715}{1852.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000308585 \approx 3.0859 \times 10^{- 5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (n a i l) \approx 3.0859 \times 10^{- 5} (m i l e)
