I want to straighten out the confusion for our Australian members about question number 3, the US Customary measurement system.
So, as I said earlier, one foot – the standard, most common unit of measurement for this system – was the length of the Roman Emperor's foot. One inch was the length of his thumb: tip to first knuckle. So if you're confused about why there are twelve inches in a foot, I want to make sure you understand it wasn't planned that way. These were just convenient measurements for people at the time (Roman Empire, so 753-410 BC) and it just so happened that one inch fit into a foot with twelve inches in a foot.
A mile, I want to point out, did not start as 5,280 feet. A lot of people think that this is absurd, which I agree with wholeheartedly. It started as 5,000 Roman feet, used to measure long distances — like between important landmarks and cities. I do not know why it became 5,280, but this is the best I can do. I hope it helps!
Side note** A yard is three feet (thirty-six inches), and there are 1,760 yards in a mile. I have no idea how they came up with that.
Conversions (if they help)
1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 foot = 30.48 cm
1 yard = 0.91 meters (91.44 cm)
1 mile = 1.61 kilometers
Can we NOT get into politics?!
What's Alaska like?
