Units of Measurement Conversion

by safirshahbaaz90 Thu Aug 21, 2014 8:56 am

Hi Tommy,

Is it important to know conversion values between certain units of measurement? For example, 1 mile = 5280 feet. This could pose a problem for me since we don't use miles or feet for measuring distance here in India.

Please help!

Regards,
Safir

Hey Safir,

I've never seen a question that requires any knowledge like that. There are a number of them that tell you the conversion numbers in the question itself, but none that simply assume you know.
