Convert square chain to labor

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) = x (l a b o r)

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) = 4.0 \times 10^{2} (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 4.0 \times 10^{2} (m^{2})

Right side: 1.0 (l a b o r) = 716844.59 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 716844.59 (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 (l a b o r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times (s q u a r e m e t e r) = x \times 716844.59 \times (s q u a r e m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.0 \times 10^{2} \cdot (m^{2}) = x \cdot 716844.59 \cdot (m^{2})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.0 \times 10^{2} \cdot (m^{2}) = x \times 716844.59 \times (m^{2})

Conversion Equation

4.0 \times 10^{2} = x \times 716844.59

Switch sides

x \times 716844.59 = 4.0 \times 10^{2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{716844.59})

x \times 716844.59 \times \frac{1.0}{716844.59} = 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{716844.59}

Cancel

x \times 716844.59 \times \frac{1.0}{716844.59} = 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{716844.59}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.0 \times 10^{2}}{716844.59}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.000558001 \approx 5.58 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) \approx 5.58 \times 10^{- 4} (l a b o r)
