Metric measurements are a typically European concept.\n\nBear in mind most people agree that Computers will play a great role in the future, and they aren't metric why should anything else be. 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit - do they sound metric to you?\n\nI'd rather stick to miles and gallons, pounds and ounces etc.

The safest way to do any unit conversion is to just multiply your initial value by 1 unil the units are what you want. I know this sounds strange. I will explain by doing a more complex conversion.  This technique works for all conversions.\n\nI don't know the direct conversion from miles to km or from cm/sec to mph, but I do know this:\n\n1 inch = 2.54 cm\n100 cm = 1 m\n1000 m = 1 km\n12 inch = 1 foot\n5280 foot = 1 mile\n60 sec = 1 minute\n60 minute = 1 hour\n\nI can take any of the above equations and make the number one by dividing one side by the other ( 1 = (2.54 cm)/(1 inch)).\n\nI will convert 1 mile to km by taking 1 mile and multiplying it by 1 until all the units but km cancel:\n\n1 mile = 1 mile x (5280 ft/1 mile) x (12 inch/1 foot) x (2.54 cm/1 inch) x (1 m/100 cm) x (1 km/1000 m) = 1.609344 km\n\nGo through the above carefully to make sure its clear. Once you get comfortable with the concept of mulitplying by 1 and cancelling out the units properly, you can do any unit conversion.\n\nTake 30 cm/sec to mi/hr:\n\n(30 cm/sec) * (1 in/2.54 cm) * (1 foot/ 12 inch) * (60 sec/min) = 59.055 ft/min\n\nTake it from there.

America's conversion to metric is the law:http://ts.nist.gov/WeightsAndMeasures/Metric/pub814.cfm#act\n\nIt's just voluntary.\n\nHowever, all the units you listed are metric.  The prefixes you're confused about are metric prefixes.

Learn the common metric prefixes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_prefix . This is no longer the nonsensical Imperial system; every conversion is just some power of 10 that is directly prescribed by the base unit's prefix.

I can relate to this question. English to Metric conversion can be confusing and error prone.\n\nThis is one URL that I have used many times:\n\nhttp://www.axiomint.com/products/englishtometric.htm\n\nAlso, ASM will have the English and Metric equivalents of the  Material Tensile strength.\n\nHope this helps you.

Multiply with 2.54 , you get measure in cm. \nThen divide by 100 you get measure in metre.

to convert centimeters to meter simply divide the number of centimeters by 100. (there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter)\ntherefore, 850 cm. = 850 cm. /100cm./m. = 8.50 m.
