Answer 5

Answer 6

It seems like a strange question because .002km would still be understandable. k being kilo, so it;s the same as 2 meters. Miles on the other hand, have to be converted to fee to be understood. A 6 foot person would be .00114 miles high. Very difficult to understand.

Answer 7

America would no longer be a free country. Obviously.

Answer 8

err, we all saying the same thing here.

Answer 9

Is this question about converting to metric? Because if it is, I can tell you the day we switch over to metric, would be a day to be remembered. In fact, we might consider turning that day into a national holiday. To us engineers, it would be 4th of July. Screw pi day. Bring on metric day!
