Examples

Consider that a horse is measured to be 16 hands tall.
Convert this height from hands to Span (cloth).

Answer:

Given:

The length in hands is:

Length_(Hands) = 16

Formula:

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

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = Length_(Hands) / 2.2499999999657097

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_(Hands) = 16 in the above formula.

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 16 / 2.2499999999657097
