Convert rod to linear yard

Learn how to convert 1 rod to linear yard step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (r o d) = x (l i n e a r y a r d)

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 (l i n e a r y a r d) = 0.9144 (m e t e r) = 0.9144 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (r o d) = x (l i n e a r y a r d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 5.0292 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.9144 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 5.0292 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.9144 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 5.0292 \cdot (m) = x \times 0.9144 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

5.0292 = x \times 0.9144

Switch sides

x \times 0.9144 = 5.0292

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.9144})

x \times 0.9144 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9144} = 5.0292 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9144}

Cancel

x \times 0.9144 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9144} = 5.0292 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9144}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.0292}{0.9144}

Solve

x

x = 5.5

Conversion Equation

1.0 (r o d) = 5.5 (l i n e a r y a r d)
