What is the Formula to convert Pica to Yards?

The formula to convert given length from Pica to Yards is:

Length_(Yards) = Length_(Pica) / 216.0000000065837

Substitute the given value of length in pica, i.e., Length_(Pica) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in yards, i.e., Length_(Yards).

Calculation

The following is a step by step calculation to convert given 1 Pica to Yards.

Formula:

The formula to convert Length from Pica to Yards is:

Length_(Yards) = Length_(Pica) / 216.0000000065837

Problem:

We need to convert given length of 1 pica to yards.

Given:

We are given length in Pica.

Length_(Pica) = 1

Substitution:

Substituting Length_(Pica) = 1 in the conversion formula.

Length_(Yards) = Length_(Pica) / 216.0000000065837

Length_(Yards) = 1 / 216.0000000065837

Simplification:

Simplify the right-hand side value of the equation.

Length_(Yards) = 0.0046296296294885

Conclusion:

Therefore, length of 1 pica is equal to 0.0046296296294885 yards.

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.

Pica

A pica is a unit of length used primarily in typography and printing. One pica is equivalent to 1/6 of an inch or approximately 4.233 millimeters.

The pica is defined as 12 points, with one point being 1/72 of an inch. It is used to measure the size of type, line length, and spacing in printed materials.

Picas are commonly used in the printing and graphic design industries to ensure consistency in text layout and design. The unit provides a standard measurement for various typographic and layout tasks.

Yards

A yard (symbol: yd) is a unit of length commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. One yard is equal to 0.9144 meters.

The yard originated from various units used in medieval England. Its current definition is based on the international agreement of 1959, which standardized it to exactly 0.9144 meters.

Yards are often used to measure distances in sports fields, textiles, and land. Despite the global shift to the metric system, the yard remains in use in these countries.
