Examples

1

Consider that a land survey recorded a boundary line of 25 chains (US survey).
Convert this distance from chains (US survey) to Hands.

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains (us survey) is:

Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 25

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains (us survey) to hands is:

Length_(Hands) = Length_{(Chains (US survey))} / 0.005050494953620203

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 25 in the above formula.

Length_(Hands) = 25 / 0.005050494953620203

Length_(Hands) = 4950.0099

Final Answer:

Therefore, 25 ch is equal to 4950.0099 hand.

The length is 4950.0099 hand, in hands.

2

Consider that a railway track section measures 30 chains (US survey).
Convert this distance from chains (US survey) to Hands.

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains (us survey) is:

Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains (us survey) to hands is:

Length_(Hands) = Length_{(Chains (US survey))} / 0.005050494953620203

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 30 in the above formula.

Length_(Hands) = 30 / 0.005050494953620203

Length_(Hands) = 5940.0119

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 ch is equal to 5940.0119 hand.

The length is 5940.0119 hand, in hands.
