Examples
1
Consider that a print layout uses 12 picas for the width of a column.
Convert this width from picas to Feet.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 12
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to feet is:
Length(Feet) = Length(Pica) / 72
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 12 in the above formula.
Length(Feet) = 12 / 72
Length(Feet) = 0.1667
Final Answer:
Therefore, 12 pica is equal to 0.1667 ft.
The length is 0.1667 ft, in feet.
2
Consider that a typesetter measures a line of text to be 6 picas long.
Convert this length from picas to Feet.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 6
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to feet is:
Length(Feet) = Length(Pica) / 72
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 6 in the above formula.
Length(Feet) = 6 / 72
Length(Feet) = 0.0833333333333333
Final Answer:
Therefore, 6 pica is equal to 0.0833333333333333 ft.
The length is 0.0833333333333333 ft, in feet.
