The formulas below use the right units, however, each coefficient is rounded improperly, but truncated instead, leading to more than expected error for the number of significant figures used. That is, for 3 sig figs, 0.454 is better than 0.453; for 4 sig figs, 2.205 is better than 2.204. Of course, using the exact value of 0.45359237 to multiply or divide (as appropriate) -- followed by the correct rounding -- is best.]
