For example, consider a 700c × 23 mm tire, which has a nominal cross-section of 23 mm. 700c wheels have a rim diameter of 622 mm. Hence the wheel diameter is (2 × 23 mm) + 622 mm = 668 mm which is equal to 26.3 inches (rounded to 1 decimal place). 26 inch mountain bicycle wheels have a rim diameter of 559 mm. This ignores factors that ...

The rod is the same length today as in Anglo-Saxon times, although its composition in terms of feet were changed by the Composition of Yards and Perches from 15 feet to 16 + 1 ⁄ 2 feet or 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 yards. The pole is commonly used as a measurement for Allotment gardens. (See also perch as an area and a volume unit.) Chain: 20.116 m: Four ...

Because of the identity property of multiplication, multiplying any quantity (physical or not) by the dimensionless 1 does not change that quantity. [5] Once this and the conversion factor for seconds per hour have been multiplied by the original fraction to cancel out the units mile and hour, 10 miles per hour converts to 4.4704 metres per second.
The actual size of the drive bays differ from their name (e.g., 3 1 ⁄ 2" drive bays are actually 4 inches (101.6 mm) wide, because 3 1 ⁄ 2" refers to the historical platter diameter inside the drive). The newer 2 1 ⁄ 2 inch and 1.8 inch drive bays are specified in
The standardized conversion for a ligne is 2.2558291 mm (1 mm = 0.443296 ligne), [4] and it is abbreviated with the letter L or represented by the triple prime, ‴. [5] One ligne is the equivalent of 0.0888 international inch. This is comparable in size to the British measurement called "line" (one-twelfth of an English inch), used prior to ...
The United States adopted the conversion factor 1 metre = 39.37 inches by an act in 1866. [30] In 1893, Mendenhall ordered the physical realization of the inch to be based on the international prototype metres numbers 21 and 27, which had been received from the CGPM, together with the previously adopted conversion factor.
