Convert pica to pie

Learn how to convert 1 pica to pie step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p i c a) = x (p i e)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (p i c a) = 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{- 3} (m e t e r) = 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{- 3} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (p i e) = 0.2786 (m e t e r) = 0.2786 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p i c a) = x (p i e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{- 3} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.2786 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.2786 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (m) = x \times 0.2786 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

4.21751764217518 \times 10^{- 3} = x \times 0.2786

Switch sides

x \times 0.2786 = 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{- 3}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.2786})

x \times 0.2786 \times \frac{1.0}{0.2786} = 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{0.2786}

Cancel

x \times 0.2786 \times \frac{1.0}{0.2786} = 4.21751764217518 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{0.2786}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.21751764217518 \times 10^{- 3}}{0.2786}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0151382543 \approx 1.5138 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p i c a) \approx 1.5138 \times 10^{- 2} (p i e)
