How long is something that is 15 cm?

Answer 1

If this question came from someone who is easy and familiar with the metric system, it would be a lot like asking "What color is an orange ?" The questioner apparently needs 15 cm changed into something he/she is more comfortable with. I have selected the British/US system, with its simple, intuitive assortment of inches, feet, yards, miles, ounces, quarts, furlongs, and pounds. Observe: 1 inch = 2.54 cm 15 cm = (15 / 2.54) = 5.905 inches (rounded) =============================== To change cm to inches: Multiply cm by 2.54 To change millimeters to inches: Multiply millimeters by 25.4 To change meters to feet: Multiply meters by 3.28 To change kilometers to miles: Multiply kilometers by 0.62 To change kilograms to pounds: Multiply kilograms by 2.2
