English system and SI (metric) have many different units; you have to know what you want to convert, and look up the specific conversion. Quite often, you will want to convert lengths; 1 in. is exactly 2.54 cm. (0.0254 meters); one mile is about 1.6 km.

∙ 11y agoIt all depends on whether you're converting length, area, volume, force, weight,
power, speed, acceleration, or energy. You need different numbers to convert
each of those.
In fact, there are several different numbers for each one. For example, if you want
to convert a length, you need different numbers to start with inches, feet, yards, or
miles. That's the beauty of the English system !
