| Section (sec) | Square Rod (sq rd) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 sec | 6.4 sq rd |
| 0.02 sec | 12.8 sq rd |
| 0.03 sec | 19.2 sq rd |
| 0.04 sec | 25.6 sq rd |
| 0.05 sec | 32 sq rd |
| 0.10 sec | 64 sq rd |
| 0.20 sec | 128 sq rd |
| 0.30 sec | 192 sq rd |
| 0.40 sec | 256 sq rd |
| 0.50 sec | 320 sq rd |
1 sec = 640 sq rd
Example 1:
Convert 0.01 sec to sq rd:
0.01 sec = 0.01 × 640 sq rd = 6.4 sq rd
Example 2:
Convert 0.1 sec to sq rd:
0.1 sec = 0.1 × 640 sq rd = 64 sq rd
