How many centimeters in one centimeter of snow?

A 12 inch ruler can have millimetres on the other side and would be 300mm which is 30 cm. Only 20 cm is 8 inches. So - 200 cm is 10 times as much which is 80 inches which is 6 feet 8 inches.


What is Limit of precision?

The precision of something just means that the result can be repeated again and again. Everytime you repeat an experiment, you will get the same result. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the results are accurate! Your measurments, results, whatever can be very precise, but completely inaccurate. Accuracy is how close something is to the true value. For example, say I have a ruler. I have used this ruler to measure my table 10 times. Every time I measure the table, I get a measurement of 10ft. My measurement is very precise. However, what I don't know is that there is a fault with my ruler. The inches on my ruler are not true inches. Each inch may actually be only 1/9th of an inch. Or all the inches on my ruler may not even be the same. So while my measurements I took with my ruler 10 times are precise, they are not accurate because there is fault with my ruler. Something can be precise, but not necessarily accurate! I would say that this is the biggest limitation of precision. A precise measurement is not always a reliable one!


Why is a ruler called a metric ruler?

a metric ruler is a measuring instrument where the units of measures are not inches, but centimeters. 10 millimetres = 1 centimetre 1 inch = 2.54 centimetre In the world, only three countries haved not yet adopted the metric system: Liberia, the United States, and Myanmar. To help people used to the older system, it is possible to find rulers that have a double system, the centimetres being engraved on one side of the ruler while inches are engraved on the other side.


Which object would you need the fewest of to measure how long the eraser is?

I'll say a ruler . . . you can do that job with only one of them.


How do you convert 0.56 feet to a fraction?

14/25 Household and carpenter rulers are typically marked in feet and inches. For your question, find the percentage of a foot (.56) in inches - (one foot = 12 inches)12 x .56 = 6.72 inches. = 6 inches and .72 of an inch... convert one inch into 100 equal parts then divide by 72... 72/100... then the fraction can easily be found = 18/25. A typical ruler shows only 16 divisions of an inch, now you can see that it takes 4 of the 16th inch divisions to equal 48 and therefore you can estimate 36/4 or slightly over 18/32 and under 24/32. SO, on a ruler your mark should be slightly below 6 3/4 inches. If you cut at 6 3/4 inches, you can file off the remaining .03 inches. Most machinists rulers are marked in 10ths and 100ths.

Where on a ruler is 32.5 inches?

How is a ruler different from a straightedge?

The straightedge can only be used to draw a straight line, or check to see if a surface is flat, but cannot measure length. A ruler can be used to draw a straight line or check for flatness, and a ruler can also measure length because it has evenly spaced markes denoting inches and centimeters.
