Convert quarter to chain

Learn how to convert 1 quarter to chain step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (q u a r t e r) = x (c h a i n)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (q u a r t e r) = 402.336 (m e t e r) = 402.336 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (c h a i n) = 20.1168 (m e t e r) = 20.1168 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (q u a r t e r) = x (c h a i n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 402.336 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 20.1168 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 402.336 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 20.1168 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 402.336 \cdot (m) = x \times 20.1168 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

402.336 = x \times 20.1168

Switch sides

x \times 20.1168 = 402.336

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{20.1168})

x \times 20.1168 \times \frac{1.0}{20.1168} = 402.336 \times \frac{1.0}{20.1168}

Cancel

x \times 20.1168 \times \frac{1.0}{20.1168} = 402.336 \times \frac{1.0}{20.1168}

Simplify

x = \frac{402.336}{20.1168}

Solve

x

x = 20

Conversion Equation

1.0 (q u a r t e r) = 20 (c h a i n)
