This is a drill and practice page involving converting distance measures between
the English (inches, feet and yards) and metric (mm,cm,meters,km). It is intended to
help with both your math skill and your understanding of the metric system.The solutions presented on this page utilize a very limited set of conversion factors and a single "bridge" between the metric and English systems(1.00inch=2.54cm). Thus, the solution described is not the only one possible, by any means.
