ditto. and i would probably try to convert the km to mi if someone were to tell be 10 km, which is around 6 miSiriCerasi said:i think the metric system makes more sense but the "american" system is the one i grew up on so its the only one i can think of proportionatly. like if you say "10 km" it means nothing to me, but 10 miles does ^_^
1 metre = 100 centimetres !!Kara said:The only thing I don't get about the metric system is kgs and meters... I'm so much more comfortable with feet and pounds. But I don't know how long a mile is, I know it's 1.6 kilometres... But yea, the metric system is good.
And someone said that a metre can only be divided into 2 and 5, but a metre is 100cm, so it can be divided (easily) into 2, 4, 5, 10, and then of course 20, 25, 50 etc. I use cms for everything except height, because once I get into 2 metres 76 cms, it's hard to picture how tall that is.
It's the contrary for me 10 miles ?? 10 km : ah !SiriCerasi said:i think the metric system makes more sense but the "american" system is the one i grew up on so its the only one i can think of proportionatly. like if you say "10 km" it means nothing to me, but 10 miles does ^_^

No not quite rightSophie said:1 metre = 1000 centimetres !!!!
you're right I was probably once again in another world (why does it happen a lot to me ?? -_- )Archangel said:No not quite right
1 metre = 100cm (centimetres)
1cm = 10mm (milimetres)
The deci unit isnt really used anywhere (ie Decimetre, decigram)
to convert from fahrenheit to celsius
5/9 x fahrenheit temp -32
