Consider that a print layout uses 12 picas for the width of a column.
Convert this width from picas to Inches.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 12
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to inches is:
Length(Inches) = Length(Pica) / 6
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 12 in the above formula.
Length(Inches) = 12 / 6
Length(Inches) = 2
Final Answer:
Therefore, 12 pica is equal to 2 in.
The length is 2 in, in inches.
