What will be an ideal response?


When materials are purchased from the United States, it is often necessary to make a hard conversion to metric units. This means that the typical inch units are converted directly to metric. For example, a 2 X 4 that is milled to 1-1/2 X 3-1/2 converts to 38 X 89 mm. When making the conversion from inches to millimeters, use the formula 25.4 X inch = millimeters.
