The answer is 3 5/12 inches.\n\nDo 1 1/8 + 5 5/8 + 3 4/8 = m  (I changed it into the same denominator.)\nThen add them together. m = 10 1/4 \n41/4 divided by 3/1\nThat equals 3 5/12.

That's like asking why the US uses inches, feet, etc., instead of the metric system (which the rest of the world uses).  Basically, it's just because we're the US.  No reason.  But it's too much of a hassle to change, apparently, on both counts.

I teach students who are 11 years old in an American school. By the time they get to me almost all have had experience with measuring with the metric system. \n\nIn the U.S. public school I teach at, we teach both the standard and metric systems.

b) 3.6 as it would 0.17 longer that it is wide...same as 12 feet is 0.17 longer than it is wide.

some background:\n1866\n    The use of the metric system made legal (but not mandatory) in the United States by the (Kasson) Metric Act of 1866 (Public Law 39-183). This law also made it unlawful to refuse to trade or deal in metric quantities.\n1893\n    ..... metric prototypes were declared "fundamental standards of length and mass" in the Mendenhall Order. Since that date, the yard, pound, etc. have been officially defined in terms of the metric system.\n\nThis timeline, and more, can be found at http://lamar.colostate.edu/~hillger/dates.htm\n\nOur common units of miles, pounds and degrees fahrenheit are defined metricly. But still it's not how we in the U.S. think.\n\nWikipedia says:\n"Only France, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan have seen significant popular opposition to metrication, the main objections being based on tradition, aesthetics, economical impact and distaste for measures viewed as foreign."\n\nIt's the imp of the perverse.

What you are confusing here is angular and linear distance. Your step 500 miles above the Earth would be the same size as on the ground. This is linear distance. Angular distance is more complicated. 3 degrees as measured at the centre of the Earth would subtend a smaller linear distance at ground level and a much larger one at 500 miles. Imagine two kebab sticks exactly meeting in the middle of an orange at an angle of 3 degrees, the further you get from the orange the kebab sticks are further apart. This is angular distance, not linear. Jules, Lecturer. Australia.
