Examples
1
Consider that a traditional Japanese building is 3 kens wide. Convert this width from kens to Arpent.
Answer:
Given:
The length in kens is:
Length(Kens) = 3
Formula:
The formula to convert length from kens to arpent is:
Length(Arpent) = Length(Kens) / 27.62589925607225
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Kens) = 3 in the above formula.
Length(Arpent) = 3 / 27.62589925607225
Length(Arpent) = 0.1086
Final Answer:
Therefore, 3 ken is equal to 0.1086 arpent.
The length is 0.1086 arpent, in arpent.
2
Consider that a Japanese temple's hall is 5 kens long. Convert this length from kens to Arpent.
Answer:
Given:
The length in kens is:
Length(Kens) = 5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from kens to arpent is:
Length(Arpent) = Length(Kens) / 27.62589925607225
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Kens) = 5 in the above formula.
Length(Arpent) = 5 / 27.62589925607225
Length(Arpent) = 0.181
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 ken is equal to 0.181 arpent.
The length is 0.181 arpent, in arpent.
