Convert palm to linear foot

Learn how to convert 1 palm to linear foot step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p a l m) = x (l i n e a r f o o t)

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 (l i n e a r f o o t) = 0.3048 (m e t e r) = 0.3048 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p a l m) = x (l i n e a r f o o t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.3048 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.3048 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \times 0.3048 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

7.62 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 0.3048

Switch sides

x \times 0.3048 = 7.62 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.3048})

x \times 0.3048 \times \frac{1.0}{0.3048} = 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{0.3048}

Cancel

x \times 0.3048 \times \frac{1.0}{0.3048} = 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{0.3048}

Simplify

x = \frac{7.62 \times 10^{- 2}}{0.3048}

Solve

x

x = 0.25 = 2.5 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p a l m) = 2.5 \times 10^{- 1} (l i n e a r f o o t)
