A note on the metric system: Before you use this table, convert to the base measurement first, in that convert centi-meters to meters, convert kilo-grams to grams. In this way, I don't have to list every imaginable combination of metric units. The notation 1.23E - 4 stands for 1.23 x 10-4 = 0.000123. |
| from \ to | = __ feet | = __ inches | = __ meters | = __ miles | = __ yards |
| foot | 12 | 0.3048 | (1/5280) | (1/3) | |
| inch | (1/12) | 0.0254 | (1/63360) | (1/36) | |

| mile | 5280 | 63360 | 1609.344 | 1760 | |
| yard | 3 | 36 | 0.9144 | (1/1760) |
| To use: Find the unit to convert from
in the left column, and multiply it by the expression under the unit to convert
to. Examples: foot = 12 inches; 2 feet = 2x12 inches. Useful Exact Length Relationships mile = 1760 yards = 5280 feet |
