Convert thou to mile

Learn how to convert 1 thou to mile step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (t h o u) = x (m i l e)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (t h o u) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m e t e r) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (m i l e) = 1609.34721869444 (m e t e r) = 1609.34721869444 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (t h o u) = x (m i l e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 1609.34721869444 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 1609.34721869444 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \times 1609.34721869444 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

2.54 \times 10^{- 5} = x \times 1609.34721869444

Switch sides

x \times 1609.34721869444 = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1609.34721869444})

x \times 1609.34721869444 \times \frac{1.0}{1609.34721869444} = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{1609.34721869444}

Cancel

x \times 1609.34721869444 \times \frac{1.0}{1609.34721869444} = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{1609.34721869444}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 5}}{1609.34721869444}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000000158 \approx 1.5783 \times 10^{- 8}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (t h o u) \approx 1.5783 \times 10^{- 8} (m i l e)
