Now all you into something to make the conversion. is divide something Thats simple enough, isnt it?? Some os us are steeped in some traditional numbers that just dont sound the same when converted. from Imagine changing the proportions of a buxom girl to At the ball game you might hear someone shout, He was out by a .609 kilometers (mile). Or: Give some people 2.54 centimeters and theyll take .609 kilometers (mile) A well known phrase would become, Put your best .3048 meters forward. At the football game you might hear the announcer say, It's 1st and 9.1 meters to go on the 45.5 meter line. hats but 37.9 liter And cowboys would wear not 91.44-58.42-91.4- 4! 36-23-- 1 1 hats.
