Convert palm to chain

Learn how to convert 1 palm to chain step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p a l m) = x (c h a i n)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (p a l m) = 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} (m e t e r) = 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (c h a i n) = 20.0 (m e t e r) = 20.0 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p a l m) = x (c h a i n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 20.0 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 20.0 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \times 20.0 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

7.62 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 20.0

Switch sides

x \times 20.0 = 7.62 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{20.0})

x \times 20.0 \times \frac{1.0}{20.0} = 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{20.0}

Cancel

x \times 20.0 \times \frac{1.0}{20.0} = 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{20.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{7.62 \times 10^{- 2}}{20.0}

Solve

x

x = 3.81 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p a l m) = 3.81 \times 10^{- 3} (c h a i n)
