How Many Meters is 147lbs?

There is no sensible answer to this question. A metre is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. A pond is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions without additional information.


How many milileters are in a kilometer?

This question cannot be answered sensibly. A millilitre is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A kilometre is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.


How to convert square meter to meter?

You cannot. A square metre is a measure of area, with dimensions [L2]. A metre is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

This question cannot be answered sensibly. A gallon is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A centimetre is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L].

Why do we need to measure length or distance?

We need to measure length or distance because they're both physical dimensions necessary in every-day life. For example - you cannot calculate how much fuel you would need to drive from A to B, without knowing how far B is from A ! Another example - you wouldn't know if a piece of furniture would fit in a space you have - without measuring the dimensions of height, width and length !
