    If the USA wants a system of measurement based entirely on water for temperature and mass, and distance as one millionth of the distance from the equator to the pole, then I’m sure they’ll call.

      How many meters are in 13.2 km? 13,200

      How many feet are in 13.2 mi?
      Break out a calculator

      Why is my country so arrogant that they will argue for an objectively worse measurement system?

        There are 5,280 feet in a Mile

        5,280 * 13.2 
        = 5,280 * 10 + 5,280 * 3 + 5,280 * 0.2
        = 5,280 * 10 + 5,280 * 3 + 5,280 / 5
        = 52,800 + 15,840 + 1,056
        = 69,696 nice
        

        I’m sorry you suck at math to the extent that this is considered absurdly difficult for you. Sucks to Suck.
