About Imperial and Metric Systems.
What is the Imperial System?
The United Kingdom and the whole United States use the Imperial System, but parts of the U.S. system are slightly different. For length it is comprised of inches, feet, yards, and miles; for weight, ounces, pounds, and stones; and for volume, fluid ounces, pints, and gallons. The British Imperial Name arises from the fact that the use of the Imperial System was also common in the past among the British Empire.
Length: inch, foot, yard, mile
Weight: Ounce, pound, stone
Volume: fluid ounce, pint, gallon
What is the Metric System?
The measurement that is used all over the world, based on the decimal system, simple, widely used, and known, is named the Metric System, which is also called the International System of Units (SI). Unlike the Imperial System, it has the base ten in the common metric units: a meter for length, a gram for weight, and a liter for volume, to name just a few, and almost every country in this world is using exclusively these units of the Metric system. Important Metric Units:
Length: These millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers are the representations of length.
Weight: Gram, kilogram
Volume: milliliter, liter
Most often used Pairs of Imperial to Metric Units,
Inches to Centimeters:
Formula: Centimeters = Inches × 2.54
Example: 20in × 2.54 = 50.8cm
Feet to Meters:
Formula: Meters = Feet × 0.3048
Example: 10ft × 0.3048 = 3.048m
Yards to Meters:
Formula: Meters = Yards × 0.9144
Example: 5yd × 0.9144 = 4.572m
Miles to Kilometers:
Formula: Kilometers = Miles × 1.60934
Example: 3mi × 1.60934 = 4.82802km
How can I change units from imperial to metric ?
We only give examples of how to make unit conversions for the most often used pairs of units, even though our converter supports many different pairings.
25 Miles to Kilometers conversion formula and example
To convert miles to kilometers, you can use the conversion formula:
Kilometers = Miles × 1.60934
Let’s calculate for 25 miles –
Kilometers = 25 miles × 1.60934 = 40.2335 kilometers
Therefore, 25 miles is approximately equal to 40.23 kilometers.
25 Feet to meters conversion formula and example
To convert feet to meters, you can use the conversion formula:
Meters = Feet × 0.3048
Let’s calculate for 25 feet –
Meters = 25 feet × 0.3048 = 7.62 meters
Therefore, 25 feet is approximately equal to 7.62 meters.
25 Inch to cm conversion formula and example
To convert inches to centimeters, you can use the conversion formula:
Centimeters = Inches × 2.54
Let’s calculate for 25 inches:
Centimeters = 25 inches × 2.54 = 63.5 centimeters
Centimeters = 25inches × 2.54 = 63.5 centimeters
Therefore, 25 inches is approximately equal to 63.5 centimeters.
