If you are given a measurement
from the left hand side and want to convert
to the units on the right hand side, just
multiply your number by the given conversion
factor.
Example - Feet to Meters
(10 ft) X (0.304800 m/ ft) X (1/3 yd/ft)
= 54.68066 yd
Conversely, you can convert
units from the right hand side to those
units on the left by dividing by the conversion
factor
Example - Millimeters
to Inches
(50 mm) / (25.4 mm/in) = 1.97 in.
