<h1 align="center">Conversion of Length</h1>
|
|
<p class="center"><i>Note: we also have <a href="metric-imperial-conversion-charts.html">Conversion
|
|
Charts</a>, and a <a href="unit-conversion-tool.html">Unit Converter</a></i>.</p>
|
|
<h2>How to Convert Lengths</h2>
|
|
<p class="larger">To convert length from one unit to another: <b>multiply
|
|
by the correct number</b>.</p>
|
|
<p class="Larger">Follow these steps:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><span class="Larger">Find the correct conversion number (see <a href="metric-imperial-conversion-charts.html">Conversion Charts</a>)</span></li>
|
|
<li><span class="Larger">Then multiply by that number</span></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Let's look at a detailed example:</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<h3>Example: Convert 3 feet into meters</h3>
|
|
<p style="float:right; margin: 0 0 5px 10px;"><img src="measure/images/rulers-1ft-1m.gif" width="280" height="80" alt="rulers 1ft vs 1m" /></p>
|
|
<p>When we put a 1-meter
|
|
ruler next to a <br>
|
|
1-foot ruler, they look like this</p>
|
|
<div style="clear:both"></div>
|
|
<p style="float:right; margin: 0 0 5px 10px;"><img src="measure/images/rulers-1ft-1m-close.gif" width="280" height="80" alt="rulers 1ft 0.3048m" /></p>
|
|
<p>Look closely and we see that the 1-foot ruler comes to exactly <b>0.3048</b> on the meter ruler</p>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<p>So, the conversion for feet to meters is: <span class="Larger"><b>1 ft = 0.3048 meters</b></span> </p>
|
|
<p class="center larger">To convert feet to meters, multiply by <b></b><b>0.3048</b></p>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<p>In fact we
|
|
could put three 1 foot rulers next to each other like
|
|
this:</p>
|
|
<p class="center"><img src="measure/images/rulers-3ft-1m.gif" width="400" height="80" alt="rulers 3ft 0.9144m" /></p>
|
|
<p class="center">Now you can see that <b>3 feet = 3
|
|
× 0.3048 meters = 0.9144 meters</b></p>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<p class="larger">So: <b>3 ft = 3
|
|
× 0.3048 m = 0.9144 m</b></p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<h3>Example: Convert 5 kilometers into miles </h3>
|
|
<p>The <a href="metric-imperial-conversion-charts.html">conversion</a> for
|
|
kilometers into miles is:</p>
|
|
<p align="center"><b>1 km = 0.6214 mile</b> (to 4 digits of accuracy)</p>
|
|
<p align="left">So, the length conversion is "multiply by 0.6214":</p>
|
|
<p align="center">5 × 0.6214 = 3.107</p>
|
|
<p align="center" class="larger">So: <b>5 km = 3.107 miles</b> (to 3 decimal places)</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<h2>More or Less?</h2>
|
|
<p>Sometimes you can get the conversion the "wrong way around", so it is a good idea to think "will my answer be more or less?"</p>
|
|
<p>If you get the wrong answer, try <b>dividing</b> by the conversion number.</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<h3>Example: You want to convert 8 meters into feet</h3>
|
|
<p>Will the answer be more or less than 8? Feet are smaller than meters, so there should be <b>more</b> feet than meters.</p>
|
|
<p>The conversion is <b>1 ft = 0.3048 meters</b>. </p>
|
|
<p>To the nearest 0.1 feet:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>try multiplying: 8 × 0.3048 = 2.5 feet <i>(oops! that is smaller!)</i></li>
|
|
<li>try dividing: 8 ÷ 0.3048 = 26.2 feet <i>(that looks good)</i></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p><b>Answer: 8 m = 8 ÷ 0.3048 = 26.2 ft</b></p>
