I am constantly asked how to convert imperial to metric and
vice versa and I have to admit while I grew up with the imperial
system I am now totally metrically minded. These requests
finally sent me on a quest to find easy equations on how to
convert them, this was not as easy a task as I thought it
would be. However, finally I managed to come up with the formulae
which you see below.
