Convert ridge to thou

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (r i d g e) = 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 (r i d g e) = 6.1722 (m e t e r) = 6.1722 (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 (r i d g e) = x (t h o u)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 6.1722 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 6.1722 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 6.1722 \cdot (m) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

6.1722 = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5}

Switch sides

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} = 6.1722

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 5}})

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 5}} = 6.1722 \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 5}}

Cancel

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 5}} = 6.1722 \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 5}}

Simplify

x = \frac{6.1722}{2.54 \times 10^{- 5}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 5}} can be rewritten to 10^{5}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{5} \times 6.1722}{2.54}

Solve

x

x = 243000 = 2.43 \times 10^{5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (r i d g e) = 2.43 \times 10^{5} (t h o u)
