Convert pie to cable length

Learn how to convert 1 pie to cable length step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p i e) = x (c a b l e l e n g t h)

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 e) = 0.2786 (m e t e r) = 0.2786 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (c a b l e l e n g t h) = 219.456 (m e t e r) = 219.456 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p i e) = x (c a b l e l e n g t h)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.2786 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 219.456 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.2786 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 219.456 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.2786 \cdot (m) = x \times 219.456 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.2786 = x \times 219.456

Switch sides

x \times 219.456 = 0.2786

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{219.456})

x \times 219.456 \times \frac{1.0}{219.456} = 0.2786 \times \frac{1.0}{219.456}

Cancel

x \times 219.456 \times \frac{1.0}{219.456} = 0.2786 \times \frac{1.0}{219.456}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.2786}{219.456}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0012695028 \approx 1.2695 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p i e) \approx 1.2695 \times 10^{- 3} (c a b l e l e n g t h)
