Convert twip to line

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

Right side: 1.0 (l i n e) = \frac{2.11455}{999.0} (m e t e r) = \frac{2.11455}{999.0} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (t w i p) = x (l i n e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m e t e r) = x \times \frac{2.11455}{999.0} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \cdot \frac{2.11455}{999.0} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \times \frac{2.11455}{999.0} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} = x \times \frac{2.11455}{999.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{2.11455}{999.0} = 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{999.0}{2.11455})

x \times \frac{2.11455}{999.0} \times \frac{999.0}{2.11455} = 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{999.0}{2.11455}

Cancel

x \times \frac{2.11455 \times 999.0}{999.0 \times 2.11455} = 1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{999.0}{2.11455}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.76388888888889 \times 10^{- 5} \times 999.0}{2.11455}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0083333333 \approx 8.3333 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (t w i p) \approx 8.3333 \times 10^{- 3} (l i n e)
