Here's a good site I use for conversions as well.

Status: offline 		assuming the division is done right yes. Your technique of (cm)/2.54=(in) or (in)*2.54=(cm) is correct.

Also it is 25.4 for mm instead of cm

Join us. Metric is ever so nice. 10mm to the cm. 100cm to the meter. 1000m to the kilometer. It's so logical!

And don't even get me started on Celsius vs Fahrenheit. Trying to figure out temperature when my folks are talking in their arcane oldtimey measurements is like listening to another language.

I come from the Pounds/Shillings/Pence - Tons/Pounds Ounces era of conversions.

The metric system is so easy- all you have to do is multiply or divide by groups of ten- ie move decimal point right or left.

It has nothing to do w/ ease of use. It's growing up w/ a measurement that you instinctively know. I know exactly what an inch, a mile, a pound looks like/feels like . . . . a centimeter? a kilometer? a kilo? Not familiar. As above, it would have been easier if the metricists had started w/ a kilo equaling a pound or two or a meter equaling a yard.

As long as the differences only cost the occasional satellite or two I'm good with the current system.
