Convert rope to fathom

Learn how to convert 1 rope to fathom step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (r o p e) = x (f a t h o m)

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 p e) = 6.096 (m e t e r) = 6.096 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (f a t h o m) = 1.8288 (m e t e r) = 1.8288 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (r o p e) = x (f a t h o m)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 6.096 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 1.8288 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 6.096 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 1.8288 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 6.096 \cdot (m) = x \times 1.8288 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

6.096 = x \times 1.8288

Switch sides

x \times 1.8288 = 6.096

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.8288})

x \times 1.8288 \times \frac{1.0}{1.8288} = 6.096 \times \frac{1.0}{1.8288}

Cancel

x \times 1.8288 \times \frac{1.0}{1.8288} = 6.096 \times \frac{1.0}{1.8288}

Simplify

x = \frac{6.096}{1.8288}

Solve

x

x \approx 3.3333333333 \approx 3.3333

Conversion Equation

1.0 (r o p e) \approx 3.3333 (f a t h o m)
