Convert rod to cable length

Learn how to convert 1 rod to cable length step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (r o d) = x (c a b l e l e n g t h)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (r o d) = 5.0292 (m e t e r) = 5.0292 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (c a b l e l e n g t h) = 185.2 (m e t e r) = 185.2 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (r o d) = x (c a b l e l e n g t h)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 5.0292 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 185.2 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 5.0292 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 185.2 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 5.0292 \cdot (m) = x \times 185.2 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

5.0292 = x \times 185.2

Switch sides

x \times 185.2 = 5.0292

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{185.2})

x \times 185.2 \times \frac{1.0}{185.2} = 5.0292 \times \frac{1.0}{185.2}

Cancel

x \times 185.2 \times \frac{1.0}{185.2} = 5.0292 \times \frac{1.0}{185.2}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0292}{185.2}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0271555076 \approx 2.7156 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (r o d) \approx 2.7156 \times 10^{- 2} (c a b l e l e n g t h)
