Convert point to thou

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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 (t h o u) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m e t e r) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 3.75 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

3.75 \times 10^{- 4} = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

3.75 \times 10^{- 4} = x \times 2.54 \times {10^{- 5}}^{10^{- 1}}

Simplify

3.75 = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 1}

Switch sides

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 1} = 3.75

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 1}})

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 1}} = 3.75 \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 1}}

Cancel

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 1}} = 3.75 \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 1}}

Simplify

x = \frac{3.75}{2.54 \times 10^{- 1}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 1}} can be rewritten to 10

Rewrite

x = \frac{10.0 \times 3.75}{2.54}

Solve

x

x \approx 14.763779528 \approx 14.7638

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o i n t) \approx 14.7638 (t h o u)
