What is the Formula to convert Span (cloth) to ell?

The formula to convert given length from Span (cloth) to ell is:

Length_(ell) = Length_{(Span (cloth))} / 4.9999999998857

Substitute the given value of length in span (cloth), i.e., Length_{(Span (cloth))} in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in ell, i.e., Length_(ell).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a piece of cloth is measured to be 3 spans in width.
Convert this width from spans to ell.

Answer:

Given:

The length in span (cloth) is:

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 3

Formula:

The formula to convert length from span (cloth) to ell is:

Length_(ell) = Length_{(Span (cloth))} / 4.9999999998857

Substitution:

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

Length_(ell) = 3 / 4.9999999998857

Length_(ell) = 0.6

Final Answer:

Therefore, 3 span is equal to 0.6 ell.

The length is 0.6 ell, in ell.

2

Consider that a scarf is 2 spans long.
Convert this length from spans to ell.

Answer:

Given:

The length in span (cloth) is:

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 2

Formula:

The formula to convert length from span (cloth) to ell is:

Length_(ell) = Length_{(Span (cloth))} / 4.9999999998857

Substitution:

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

Length_(ell) = 2 / 4.9999999998857

Length_(ell) = 0.4

Final Answer:

Therefore, 2 span is equal to 0.4 ell.

The length is 0.4 ell, in ell.

Span (cloth)

A span (cloth) is a unit of length used historically in textiles and cloth measurement. One span (cloth) is approximately equivalent to 24 inches or 0.6096 meters.

The span (cloth) is based on the width of a person's outstretched hand from thumb to little finger, providing a practical measure for fabric lengths and textile work.

Spans (cloth) were used in the textile industry for measuring and cutting fabric. While less common today, the unit remains of historical interest and reflects traditional practices in cloth measurement and tailoring.

ell

An ell is a unit of length used historically in textiles and other measurements. One ell is equivalent to approximately 45 inches or 1.143 meters.

The ell was originally based on the length of a person's arm or the length of a specific type of cloth, and its definition varied between regions and periods. The unit was commonly used in the textile industry for measuring fabric lengths.

Ells are less commonly used today but remain of historical interest in the study of historical measurements and practices, particularly in textiles and historical trade.
