How many cms to the inch?

"2.54"


For quick mental calculations I round it off to. 2.5

Most of the model airplanes in the magazines and catalogs give the wingspan in mms. For cms, convert
to mms, divide result by 100, then multiply result by 4. Mentally less cumbersome than dividing by
2.5, although converting 2.5 to a fraction, 5/2 and then multiplying by 2/5 is pretty easy.

Although Donnie's is a simpler system, Americans don't think they need
to change our system and won't embrace Donnie's system. Hail to the Queenie!

When teaching fractions, the kids would bitch about the difficulty. I'd tell them to go home and
have their parents call congress to push for the metric system. Much easier. Now we have to live
with a hybrid system. I never know what I'm going to need on the truck. Some stuff is metric and
some is not.

What's the conversion of 177 22 9 38 380 357 40 45 50 ;-)
That should get your mind off golf for a minute.

122.2078mm or 4.81in.

A friend and I are going to play with 9 45 22 and maybe 7.62 later today.
