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) = 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} (m e t e r) = 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (f o o t) = 0.304800609601219 (m e t e r) = 0.304800609601219 (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 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.304800609601219 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.304800609601219 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m) = x \times 0.304800609601219 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

3.75 \times 10^{- 4} = x \times 0.304800609601219

Switch sides

x \times 0.304800609601219 = 3.75 \times 10^{- 4}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.304800609601219})

x \times 0.304800609601219 \times \frac{1.0}{0.304800609601219} = 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} \times \frac{1.0}{0.304800609601219}

Cancel

x \times 0.304800609601219 \times \frac{1.0}{0.304800609601219} = 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} \times \frac{1.0}{0.304800609601219}

Simplify

x = \frac{3.75 \times 10^{- 4}}{0.304800609601219}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0012303125 \approx 1.2303 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o i n t) \approx 1.2303 \times 10^{- 3} (f o o t)
