But speaking of conversions

1 inch = .0833333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333... Ft Or 1.00
1 inch = .0277777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777... Yd Or 1.00 Strange there would never be any reason to convert 1" using the inch system like that. You ducked metric completely.

How precise do you want to be?

Still the metric system uses too many symbols! And the beauty of the inch is that the foot and yard are based on the number 12, the inch itself is based on the number 10. The point that you missed it is that the inch system uses fewer numbers to get to the same place.


Bitch, whinge, whine...if you don't like it then don't use it.

Simple.
