converting mm measurements to american standard
noel888
it did not make any sense to me...ie..i entered 468 mm and it came
back with 1 feet...the same for 5.5 mm...could someone here with this
knowledge, inform me the correct conversion for both of those that i
mentioned? 468mm= 5.5mm=

1" = 25.4mm, therefore:
468mm = 18.4251"
5.5mm = 0.2165"

sorry and thanks for answering, but this old fool is still
mystified ....468 is 18 inches, but what is 4251? .. and the other
0.2165 is what? if its a fraction, what is it?

0.4251 is a bit less than half an inch.
0.216 is a bit less than 1 quater inch.

They're decimal fractions. 18.4251" = 18 inches, 4 tenths, 2 hundredths,
five thousandths, and 1 ten-thousandth. 18-27/64 inches would be close.
0.2165" = about 7/32 inches.

Use Google. Search for:
468 mm in ft
468 mm in in
5.5 mm in ft
5.5 mm in in
works for all measurements I've tried.
