In 1976 Jamaica launched a major communication campaign to convert to the metric system of measurement…sadly by then I was too long in the tooth to grasp the concept..the only people who made the adjustment were those selling that white powdery stuff(and I ain’t talking about flour)
When I travel around Europe everyone talks in metric…thankfully Uncle Sam is set in his ways and thats how I roll…

In reply to Dukes km to miles...divide the kilometers by 1.6 or multiply it by 0.621!
Ps. Miles to kilometers, multiply miles by 1.6!

Million (well, not so much) question - why 1500 meters race & not 1609 meters? Isn't 800 meters the approximate half mile?!

Most will be familiar with some variation of:
Think of a number (x).
Double it. (2x)
Add 20. (2x + 20)
Divide by 2. (x + 10)
Subtract the number you first thought of. (10)
The answer is 10. 'And that's magic!'
How much of the education system is really just a sophisticated version of the above?

No big deal that. One's age, by definition is the difference between one's birthdate and the current date. Duh!

150 km =93.75 miles?
Sep 21, 2022, 2:49:24 PM
In reply to tops 93.15, good?! Or 93.23!?
Sep 21, 2022, 3:21:18 PM
In reply to tops
Correct
Or 150 multiplied by 5 and divided by 8=93.75

144 div by 1.609 = 89.49 miles to two decimal places rounded to 89 miles.
153 km div by 1.609 = 93.22 rounded to 93 miles

In reply to TheTrail So yuh nah gwine round 1.609 to the nearest hundredths or to the nearest tenths? Make it 1.61 or 1.6 - just to be expedient?! Wait, you're bang on - calculate with 1.609 which is the almost exact equivalent of a mile, then round....which would give a more precise ansa! You're a scoundrel, aren't you!?
