Convert nail to twip

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (n a i l) = x (t w i p)

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 (t w i p) = 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} (m e t e r) = 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (n a i l) = x (t w i p)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.05715 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.05715 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.05715 \cdot (m) = x \times 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.05715 = x \times 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5}

Switch sides

x \times 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} = 0.05715

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5}})

x \times 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5}} = 0.05715 \times \frac{1.0}{1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5}}

Cancel

x \times 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5}} = 0.05715 \times \frac{1.0}{1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5}}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.05715}{1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 5}} can be rewritten to 10^{5}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{5} \times 0.05715}{1.76388888888889}

Solve

x

x \approx 3240 \approx 3.24 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (n a i l) \approx 3.24 \times 10^{3} (t w i p)
