# another easier way on the inches part.....

In Reply to: Simple math. 12in = 1ft. How many 12's go into 1043.305? 86. Remainder = 1043.305 - (12 x 86) = approx 11. So it's 86'11". n/m posted by The Max on September 13, 2002 at 11:25:25:

2650/2.54 = 1043.31 inches.

1043.31/12 = 86.9425 feet (86 feet)

0.9425 feet * 12 = 11.31 inches.

2.54 cm / inch
12 inches/ foot
convert to inches, then to feet.. take the remainder from the feet, then convert it back to inches by multiplying what's left by 12.

that's the easiest way. Stupid English measuring system.

  - At least the US Monetary system is easy to use. 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100. :) nm Matt (93SE) 13:31:44 9/13/2002 (3)
    - Ah yes, but there's that one killer mystery coin! Uncle Pete (89 SE) 17:57:53 9/13/2002 (2)
      - Especially since it's smaller than a penny, and worth ten times as much. Makes sense to me! :) nm Matt (93SE) 23:08:50 9/13/2002 (0)
      - LOL you're right! It says "One Dime". We are pretty dumb :) n/m RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 18:32:34 9/13/2002 (0)
