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.
