not sure I understand the (mm) part.
6mm = 0.23622"...............don;t understand in my head what it is saying.
25cm = 9.84252" am assuming this is just over 9"
Yes, 25 cm is just over 9 inches... I'm a retired science teacher and the "metric" system works so well for science... all units are based on 10s... much easier to convert from one unit to another... but not much easier when trying to convert from one measuring system to another... 1 mm (millimeter) is only 1/10th of a centimeter... very small unit... well, look at the width of a pencil lead.. If you have mechanical pencils they are often .7 mm wide! And that's only .7 of a mm!! so 1mm is a very small distance. It takes 10 mm to make 1 cm (centimeter). One inch is 2.5 cm.. Now I know this is confusing, so the best thing is to use one of the conversion sites. Just be sure you are going from metric (cm) to the more familiar (inches)... Good luck!!
