LENGTH
I. Conversion factors in English System of Measurement 1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in.) 1 yard (yd) = 3 feet (ft) 1 yard (yd) = 36 inches (in.) For long distances, the mile is used: 1 mile (mi) = 1,760 yards = 5,280 feet
II. Conversion factors in Metric System of Measurement 1 kilometer(km) = 1,000 meters (m) 1 millimeter (mm)= 0.001 meter 1 centimeter (cm)= 0. 01 meter 1 decimeter (dm)= 0. 1 meter 1 decameter (da)= 10 meters 1 hectometer (hm)= 100 meters 1 millimeter (mm)= 1/1,000 meter or 1,000 millimeters = 1 meter
English System of Measurement 1. Convert 36 inches into feet: Solution: *Note: 1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in.)
