Examples
1
Consider that a cross-country road trip covers 2,000 miles (US survey). Convert this distance from miles (US survey) to Chains.
Answer:
Given:
The length in miles (us survey) is:
Length(Miles (US survey)) = 2000
Formula:
The formula to convert length from miles (us survey) to chains is:
Substitute given weight Length(Miles (US survey)) = 100 in the above formula.
Length(Chains) = 100 / 0.012499973999036011
Length(Chains) = 8000.0166
Final Answer:
Therefore, 100 mi is equal to 8000.0166 ch.
The length is 8000.0166 ch, in chains.
