A free calculator with unit conversions
By Jonathan Preston. Filed in Uncategorized |
When you’re working with math or finances, it’s not uncommon to need to convert from one unit of measurement to another. Sometimes you memorize conversions, like the fact that there are 2.54 centimeters in one inch, or 5,280 feet in one mile. But who really memorizes how many grams there are in one ounce, or how many inches there are in a kilometer? It’d be really helpful if you had a calculator that could handle these conversions all on its own, right?
As it turns out, Google provides this functionality. Simply enter your query, be it a value, or a full math equation, and add “in inches” or whatever other unit of measure you’d like to convert to. For instance…
Search Google for “1 mile in mm”
You can also work with more complex equations, like this…
Search Google for “1000cm * 1000cm * 100^2 in km^2″
Google’s search functions become even more useful when dealing with finances. You can search for currency conversions like this…
Search Google for “1 USD in CAD”
Naturally, exchange rates change daily, and different banks will exchange funds at different rates, so be sure to double check your data.
