Convert year to decade

Learn how to convert 1 year to decade step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (y e a r) = x (d e c a d e)

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

(s e c o n d)

Left side: 1.0 (y e a r) = 31556908.8 (s e c o n d) = 31556908.8 (s)

Right side: 1.0 (d e c a d e) = 3.1536 \times 10^{8} (s e c o n d) = 3.1536 \times 10^{8} (s)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (y e a r) = x (d e c a d e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 31556908.8 \times (s e c o n d) = x \times 3.1536 \times 10^{8} \times (s e c o n d)

Or

1.0 \cdot 31556908.8 \cdot (s) = x \cdot 3.1536 \times 10^{8} \cdot (s)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 31556908.8 \cdot (s) = x \times 3.1536 \times 10^{8} \times (s)

Conversion Equation

31556908.8 = x \times 3.1536 \times 10^{8}

Switch sides

x \times 3.1536 \times 10^{8} = 31556908.8

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{3.1536 \times 10^{8}})

x \times 3.1536 \times 10^{8} \times \frac{1.0}{3.1536 \times 10^{8}} = 31556908.8 \times \frac{1.0}{3.1536 \times 10^{8}}

Cancel

x \times 3.1536 \times 10^{8} \times \frac{1.0}{3.1536 \times 10^{8}} = 31556908.8 \times \frac{1.0}{3.1536 \times 10^{8}}

Simplify

x = \frac{31556908.8}{3.1536 \times 10^{8}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{8}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 8}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 8} \times 31556908.8}{3.1536}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.1000663014 \approx 1.0007 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (y e a r) \approx 1.0007 \times 10^{- 1} (d e c a d e)
