Convert twip to gauge

Learn how to convert 1 twip to gauge step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (t w i p) = x (g a u g 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 w i p) = 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} (m e t e r) = 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (g a u g e) = 1.435 (m e t e r) = 1.435 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (t w i p) = x (g a u g e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 1.435 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 1.435 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \times 1.435 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} = x \times 1.435

Switch sides

x \times 1.435 = 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.435})

x \times 1.435 \times \frac{1.0}{1.435} = 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{1.435}

Cancel

x \times 1.435 \times \frac{1.0}{1.435} = 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{1.0}{1.435}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5}}{1.435}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000122919 \approx 1.2292 \times 10^{- 5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (t w i p) \approx 1.2292 \times 10^{- 5} (g a u g e)
