🧠 How to convert between measurement units

Most unit conversions involve multiplying a measurement by a conversion factor. For example, one inch is exactly 2.54 centimetres, so you can convert inches to centimetres by multiplying by 2.54.

🧮 Example: Convert 10 feet to metres

One international foot equals exactly 0.3048 metres. Multiply 10 by 0.3048 to calculate the equivalent measurement.

📏 10 feet = 3.048 metres

🌡️ How temperature conversions work

Unlike most unit conversions, Celsius and Fahrenheit require both multiplication and an offset. For example, to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 9/5 and add 32.

Celsius to Fahrenheit: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32.

Fahrenheit to Celsius: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9.
