The true evil are the fuckers who post recipes in grams instead of cups and ml.

I don’t have time to get out a million little differently sized utensils because I need 2 cups of this, ¼ cup of that, ½ a teaspoon of the third thing etc. when I can put the bowl on a kitchen scale and use the tare function.

Same order of magnitude, don’t bother with the trivial details.

Is it really tho? log(3.6) ≈ 0.55 so 1 km/h is really closer to 10m/s than 1m/s

Just divide by 3.6

Example:

10 km /h * 1000 m / km = 10,000 m /h

10,000 m/h * 1h/3600s = 10,000/ 3,6000 m/s = 10/3.6 m/s

I used to do it this way in highschool, but could never remember if it was divide by or multiply by 3.6

Instead I now do it as you have shown, except it all goes in the same expression.

10 km/h * 1000 m/km * 1h/3600s = 2.778 m/s

No need for the extra steps. Slap it all in the same expression and put it in the calculator (being careful to check that the units cancel as intended)

M/s is faster (lower number) than km/h so… That should give you enough explanation to understand whether you need to divide or multiply 3.6 when converting.

It just never stuck. Just for me personally it’s easier to remember the base conversions of 1 km = 1000 m and 1 hr = 3600 and do the maths.

Just my own personal preference, and when dealing with more complex units, is the only way.

Shit like this is why we need metric time.

Shit like this is why metric needs to be replaced with a base12 system. Base10 is for children who still count on their fingers.

If at could start at blank slate then base 12 would make a better foundation, but base 10 is far too ingrained into every aspect of our life. It’s much easier to convert time into base 10 than it would be to convert the world into base 12.
