Examples
1
Consider that a print layout uses 12 picas for the width of a column.
Convert this width from picas to Rod.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 12
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to rod is:
Length(Rod) = Length(Pica) / 1188.0000000905256
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 12 in the above formula.
Length(Rod) = 12 / 1188.0000000905256
Length(Rod) = 0.0101010101002404
Final Answer:
Therefore, 12 pica is equal to 0.0101010101002404 rd.
The length is 0.0101010101002404 rd, in rod.
2
Consider that a typesetter measures a line of text to be 6 picas long.
Convert this length from picas to Rod.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 6
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to rod is:
Length(Rod) = Length(Pica) / 1188.0000000905256
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 6 in the above formula.
Length(Rod) = 6 / 1188.0000000905256
Length(Rod) = 0.0050505050501202
Final Answer:
Therefore, 6 pica is equal to 0.0050505050501202 rd.
The length is 0.0050505050501202 rd, in rod.
