Examples

1

Consider that a piece of cloth is measured to be 3 spans in width.
Convert this width from spans to Chains (US survey).

Answer:

Given:

The length in span (cloth) is:

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 3

Formula:

The formula to convert length from span (cloth) to chains (us survey) is:

Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = Length_{(Span (cloth))} / 88.00017592981443

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 3 in the above formula.

Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 3 / 88.00017592981443

Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 0.0340908409364168

Final Answer:

Therefore, 3 span is equal to 0.0340908409364168 ch.

The length is 0.0340908409364168 ch, in chains (us survey).

2

Consider that a scarf is 2 spans long.
Convert this length from spans to Chains (US survey).

Answer:

Given:

The length in span (cloth) is:

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 2

Formula:

The formula to convert length from span (cloth) to chains (us survey) is:

Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = Length_{(Span (cloth))} / 88.00017592981443

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 2 in the above formula.

Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 2 / 88.00017592981443

Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 0.0227272272909445

Final Answer:

Therefore, 2 span is equal to 0.0227272272909445 ch.

The length is 0.0227272272909445 ch, in chains (us survey).
