Convert point to foot

Learn how to convert 1 point to foot step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p o i n t) = x (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 o i n t) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m e t e r) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (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 o i n t) = x (f o o t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.3048 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.3048 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \times 0.3048 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

2.54 \times 10^{- 5} = x \times 0.3048

Switch sides

x \times 0.3048 = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.3048})

x \times 0.3048 \times \frac{1.0}{0.3048} = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{0.3048}

Cancel

x \times 0.3048 \times \frac{1.0}{0.3048} = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{0.3048}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 5}}{0.3048}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000833333 \approx 8.3333 \times 10^{- 5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o i n t) \approx 8.3333 \times 10^{- 5} (f o o t)
