Convert point to inch

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

Right side: 1.0 (i n c h) = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} (m e t e r) = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p o i n t) = x (i n c h)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

2.54 \times 10^{- 5} = x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

2.54 \times {10^{- 5}}^{10^{- 3}} = x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}

Simplify

2.54 \times 10^{- 3} = x \times 2.5400051

Switch sides

x \times 2.5400051 = 2.54 \times 10^{- 3}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.5400051})

x \times 2.5400051 \times \frac{1.0}{2.5400051} = 2.54 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{2.5400051}

Cancel

x \times 2.5400051 \times \frac{1.0}{2.5400051} = 2.54 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{2.5400051}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 3}}{2.5400051}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.000999998 \approx 10 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o i n t) \approx 10 \times 10^{- 4} (i n c h)
