No one would know 3 ceniyards would be equal to about an inch.
But see that’s one of the main problems. US goes yard-feet-inch-fraction of inch. And Meteric goes meter-centimeter-millimeter. The feet-inch type measurement disappears and those are the most common for people in everyday life.
~3 decimeters in a foot.
I feel like if the meteric system used decimeters more it would have caught on.
My door frame needs to be 36 inches or 3 ft wide. ×3 = 9 Decimeters.
But if I give a measurement in decimeters to a person that uses metric it’s like I’m using some kind of forbidden unit.
