Question

What is = 0.3937 expressed as a fully reduced fraction?

Donagan

Top Answerer

0.3937 = 3,937/10,000, which is an irreducible fraction. If that fraction seems too "clumsy," however, you could change it slightly to 3,936/10,000, which reduces to 246 / 625 (also rather awkward).

Question

I don't understand the metric system at all (I'm elderly). Example (short version please). 1 cm = ?? inched; OR 1 in = ?? cm. ?? cm = 1 ft. ?? cm to ?? mm. Basically 1 in = ??cm or ?? mm.
