I have an iPhone app that does conversions. Extremely useful when I am playing AE.

I've grown up using both and still can't convert with any degree of accuracy without outside aid heh. I use a ruler with metric on one side and imperial on the other.

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

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

Wouldn't have this problem if the uncivilized world just abandonded the metric system. ([:D])

multiply cm x .3937 to get inches

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

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.

If the measuring powers that be had just decided to make a meter a yard's length I might have made the effort to incorporate the rest of metric fu into my life but they didn't so I don't.

If the metric system is so bloody hard, oh yes it only yanquis complaining, why do you use a dollar based currency.

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

Only three countries don't use the metric system: USA, Liberia, and Burma.
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.
