Metric vs imperial: why conversion still matters
US recipes use cups and Fahrenheit. European engineering uses metres and Celsius. Global e-commerce shows product dimensions in both systems. A wrong unit conversion destroyed a Mars orbiter in 1999, unit mistakes are not just inconvenient, they are expensive.
Keep significant figures reasonable. Converting 1 metre to feet gives 3.28084 feet, but reporting six decimal places implies false precision. Round to what your use case actually needs.
