Examples
1
Consider that a print layout uses 12 picas for the width of a column.
Convert this width from picas to Yards.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 12
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to yards is:
Length(Yards) = Length(Pica) / 216.0000000065837
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 12 in the above formula.
Length(Yards) = 12 / 216.0000000065837
Length(Yards) = 0.0555555555538622
Final Answer:
Therefore, 12 pica is equal to 0.0555555555538622 yd.
The length is 0.0555555555538622 yd, in yards.
2
Consider that a typesetter measures a line of text to be 6 picas long.
Convert this length from picas to Yards.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 6
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to yards is:
Length(Yards) = Length(Pica) / 216.0000000065837
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 6 in the above formula.
Length(Yards) = 6 / 216.0000000065837
Length(Yards) = 0.0277777777769311
Final Answer:
Therefore, 6 pica is equal to 0.0277777777769311 yd.
The length is 0.0277777777769311 yd, in yards.
