Learn how to convert 1 span to ligne step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (s p a n) = x (l i g n e)

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 (l i g n e) = \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} (m e t e r) = \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (s p a n) = x (l i g n e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.2286 \times (m e t e r) = x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.2286 \cdot (m) = x \cdot \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.2286 \cdot (m) = x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.2286 = x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} = 0.2286

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{99.0}{0.2233275})

x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \times \frac{99.0}{0.2233275} = 0.2286 \times \frac{99.0}{0.2233275}

Cancel

x \times \frac{0.2233275 \times 99.0}{99.0 \times 0.2233275} = 0.2286 \times \frac{99.0}{0.2233275}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.2286 \times 99.0}{0.2233275}

Solve

x

x \approx 101.33727373 \approx 1.0134 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s p a n) \approx 1.0134 \times 10^{2} (l i g n e)
