How Do You Convert Metric Lengths To Imperial?
Imperial (or English) measurements are those that are used in the United States, but many other countries use the metric system of measurements. Metric measurements are also used by scientists because they make calculations easier. They convert to Imperial after getting their results. Find the number of feet in a meter by multiplying by 3.28. For example, a man that is 1.9 meters tall is 6.23 feet tall. To find out how many inches over 6 feet the man is, remember that there are 12 inches in a foot. Multiply .23 by 12 to get about 2.75 inches. Multiply meters by 1.09 to get yards. A meter is equal to 1 yard, 3.25 inches. Since there are three feet in a yard, a meter is 39.25 inches long. Check your math against the 1.9-meter-tall man from the example in Step 1. You should get a height of about 2.07 yards or 6.21 feet (close enough). Determine how many miles are in a kilometer by multiplying by .621. A 10K race is 10 kilometers long, or 6.21 miles. To find out how much longer than six mi
