About Metric to Imperial system
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
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

How can I change units from metric to Imperial ?
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.
5 Km to Miles conversion formula and example
To convert 5 kilometers to miles, you can use the formula:
Miles = Kilometers × 0.621371
So, for 5 kilometers:
Miles=5 km × 0.621371 = 3.1068555 miles
Miles = 5km × 0.621371 = 3.1068555 miles
Therefore, 5 kilometers is approximately equal to 3.11 miles.
5 Meters to feet conversion and example
To convert 5 meters to feet, you can use the conversion formula:
Feet = Meters × 3.28084
Let’s calculate –
Feet = 5 meters × 3.28084 = 16.4042 feet
Feet = 5meters × 3.28084 = 16.4042feet
Therefore, 5 meters is approximately equal to 16.40 feet.
50 Cm to inch conversion formula and example
To convert centimeters to inches, you can use the conversion formula –
Inches = Centimeters × 0.393701
Let’s calculate for 50 centimeters –
Inches = 50 cm × 0.393701 = 19.6851 inches
Inches = 50cm × 0.393701 = 19.6851inches
Therefore, 50 centimeters is approximately equal to 19.69 inches.
