How do I convert measurements?
Answer
When it comes to converting measurements. You would likely set up a ratio to convert measurement to the desired measurement. For example we know that there a 60 seconds in one minute. From there we have 12 inches in 1 foot. In most complex situations we would convert inches to cm and feet to yards etc.
