Examples

Consider that a traditional measurement for a table's width is 10 handbreadths.
Convert this width from handbreadths to Span (cloth).

Answer:

Given:

The length in handbreadth is:

Length_{(Handbreadth)} = 10

Formula:

The formula to convert length from handbreadth to span (cloth) is:

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = Length_{(Handbreadth)} / 2.99999999995428

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Handbreadth)} = 10 in the above formula.

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 10 / 2.99999999995428

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 3.3333

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10 handbreadth is equal to 3.3333 span.

The length is 3.3333 span, in span (cloth).

Consider that a door is 6 handbreadths wide.
Convert this width from handbreadths to Span (cloth).

Answer:

Given:

The length in handbreadth is:

Length_{(Handbreadth)} = 6

Formula:

The formula to convert length from handbreadth to span (cloth) is:

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = Length_{(Handbreadth)} / 2.99999999995428

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Handbreadth)} = 6 in the above formula.

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 6 / 2.99999999995428

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 2

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6 handbreadth is equal to 2 span.

The length is 2 span, in span (cloth).

Handbreadth

A handbreadth is a historical unit of length used to measure small distances, typically based on the width of a hand. One handbreadth is approximately equivalent to 4 inches or about 0.1016 meters.

The handbreadth is defined as the width of a person's hand, measured from the edge of the thumb to the edge of the little finger when the hand is spread out. This unit was used for practical measurements in various contexts, including textiles and construction.

Handbreadths were used in historical measurement systems for assessing lengths and dimensions where precise tools were not available. Although less common today, the unit provides historical context for traditional measurement practices and everyday use in different cultures.

Span (cloth)

A span (cloth) is a unit of length used historically in textiles and cloth measurement. One span (cloth) is approximately equivalent to 24 inches or 0.6096 meters.
