Convert square chain to homestead

Learn how to convert 1 square chain to homestead step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) = x (h o m e s t e a d)

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

(s q u a r e m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) = 929.0304 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 929.0304 (m^{2})

Right side: 1.0 (h o m e s t e a d) = 647497.027584 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 647497.027584 (m^{2})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) = x (h o m e s t e a d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 929.0304 \times (s q u a r e m e t e r) = x \times 647497.027584 \times (s q u a r e m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 929.0304 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \cdot 647497.027584 \cdot (m^{2})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 929.0304 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \times 647497.027584 \times (m^{2})

Conversion Equation

929.0304 = x \times 647497.027584

Switch sides

x \times 647497.027584 = 929.0304

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{647497.027584})

x \times 647497.027584 \times \frac{1.0}{647497.027584} = 929.0304 \times \frac{1.0}{647497.027584}

Cancel

x \times 647497.027584 \times \frac{1.0}{647497.027584} = 929.0304 \times \frac{1.0}{647497.027584}

Simplify

x = \frac{929.0304}{647497.027584}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0014348026 \approx 1.4348 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) \approx 1.4348 \times 10^{- 3} (h o m e s t e a d)
