Convert point to ligne

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p o i n t) = x (l i g n 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 o i n t) = 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} (m e t e r) = 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (l i g n e) = 2.256 \times 10^{- 3} (m e t e r) = 2.256 \times 10^{- 3} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p o i n t) = x (l i g n e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 2.256 \times 10^{- 3} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 2.256 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m) = x \times 2.256 \times 10^{- 3} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

3.75 \times 10^{- 4} = x \times 2.256 \times 10^{- 3}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

3.75 \times {10^{- 4}}^{10^{- 1}} = x \times 2.256 \times 10^{- 3}

Simplify

3.75 \times 10^{- 1} = x \times 2.256

Switch sides

x \times 2.256 = 3.75 \times 10^{- 1}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.256})

x \times 2.256 \times \frac{1.0}{2.256} = 3.75 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{2.256}

Cancel

x \times 2.256 \times \frac{1.0}{2.256} = 3.75 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{2.256}

Simplify

x = \frac{3.75 \times 10^{- 1}}{2.256}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.1662234043 \approx 1.6622 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o i n t) \approx 1.6622 \times 10^{- 1} (l i g n e)
