Why is it easier to convert meters to centimes or millimeters than it is to change yards to feet or inches?
The whole of the metric system is designed so that conversion between different units for the same characteristic involves multiplication or division by powers of ten. In effect, therefore, all that is required is to move the decimal point an appropriate number of places. "Centi" means one-hundredth so there are 100 cm in a metre and so all you need to do is multiply the number of metres by 100 or move the decimal point two places to the right.
The Imperial system, though is a nightmare of different conversion factors:
1 yard = 3 feet = 36 inches.
