I'm Indonesian, and we use cenimeters too. Actually it's more accurate than inches. 100 cm = 1 m.

inches x 2.54 = centimeters\n\n71/81 x 2.54 = 2.2264 centimeters

I do not clearly understand your question, but if you have a metric ruler and you want measure a drawing (or map) in English units scale, the problem is of conversions i.e. if drawing is 0.5=12" it would mean 1:24 so if you measure 10mm it would mean 240mm. Hope it helps.

mg are units of weight.. Spoons measure volume.

The Japanese probably have the most experience in the world and pioneered endoscopy for the diagnosis of stomach problems. \n\nThere are a number of excellent options in US including the Ochsner Foundation in New Orleans. Cost may be an issue, but they are excellent. \n\nMy understanding is that there is an excellent hospital in Costa Rica, associated with Baylor University Medical Center. You should be able to find it on the internet.\n\nThere is a surgeon in San Salvador whom I know. He trained in the US in both General Surgery and Pathology. He is excellent if you can find him. His name is Dr Juan Calix.\n\nHope this helps

centi = 1/100, therefore there are 100 centimeters in a meter.\nmilli = 1/1000, so there are 1000 millimeters in a meter.

It means 1 unit of measurement on the plan or model or whatever the scale refers to is equal to 200 units..\n\nSo for example - on a plan with a 1:200 scale, 1 centimeter would represent 2 meters. 1 meter would represent 2 kilometers etc. etc.

I live in Japan. It's pretty hygenic in a lot of ways but also backwards in others. People often brush their teeth regularly, several times a day but since they don't use fluoride and still somewhat treasure crooked teeth dental problems and cavities are extreemely common. Sex is scary here. In reality, condoms are the most common form of protection but abortion is said to be the depended on form of birth contol. One in five Japanese women has chlamydia When people get sick here they often wear masks to prevent them from passing it on to others but few will skip out on work out of duty. I don't think Japanese doctors are as extensively educated as western doctors either, but I have no stats on that. Cancer treatment, for one, is well behind that in the west and antibiotics are overprescribed (opinion-but they are given even when the doctor says you just have a cold). Oddly, Japanese think nothing of eating raw beef, raw eggs, or anything out of the ocean but raw vegetables like broccoli or carrots are unthinkable. Granted, Japanese standards on beef, dairy and fish are probably stricter than in America but it's still surprising. Another facet is the often destructive influence of mass thinking here. For instance, the cancer causing chemical Radon is often added to "Recuperative spas" because it is thought to have health benefits. Otherwise, pollution standards are reputedly lower here than in much of the west.

Beacause many people perceive the metric system to be complicated. In fact it is much easier than the US system; it is the conversion between systems that is complicated.\nThe answer is to throw away your inch or inch/metric tapes and get a metric only tape. Ditto for scales, thermometers etc. And just use metric units. \n\nWhen you go to the shops, demand to be served in litres, kg etc. If they moan, tell them that congress legalised metric units in 1875. Only commercial pressure will win in the end.
