Convert span to football field

Learn how to convert 1 span to football field step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (s p a n) = x (f o o t b a l l f i e l d)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (s p a n) = 0.2286 (m e t e r) = 0.2286 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (f o o t b a l l f i e l d) = 100.584 (m e t e r) = 100.584 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (s p a n) = x (f o o t b a l l f i e l d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.2286 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 100.584 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.2286 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 100.584 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.2286 \cdot (m) = x \times 100.584 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.2286 = x \times 100.584

Switch sides

x \times 100.584 = 0.2286

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{100.584})

x \times 100.584 \times \frac{1.0}{100.584} = 0.2286 \times \frac{1.0}{100.584}

Cancel

x \times 100.584 \times \frac{1.0}{100.584} = 0.2286 \times \frac{1.0}{100.584}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.2286}{100.584}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0022727273 \approx 2.2727 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s p a n) \approx 2.2727 \times 10^{- 3} (f o o t b a l l f i e l d)
