Convert nail to ridge

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (n a i l) = x (r i d g 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 (r i d g e) = 6.1722 (m e t e r) = 6.1722 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (n a i l) = x (r i d g e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.05715 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 6.1722 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.05715 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 6.1722 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.05715 \cdot (m) = x \times 6.1722 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.05715 = x \times 6.1722

Switch sides

x \times 6.1722 = 0.05715

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{6.1722})

x \times 6.1722 \times \frac{1.0}{6.1722} = 0.05715 \times \frac{1.0}{6.1722}

Cancel

x \times 6.1722 \times \frac{1.0}{6.1722} = 0.05715 \times \frac{1.0}{6.1722}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.05715}{6.1722}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0092592593 \approx 9.2593 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (n a i l) \approx 9.2593 \times 10^{- 3} (r i d g e)
