Attention Different browsers interpret web page languages (HTML/ PHP/Javascript/CSS) differently at default. I tuned up this site best for Google Chrome, a most popular browser running on desktops/tablets/ notebooks/mobile phones. Other browsers (Firefox/Edge/IE/ Opera///) might exhibit weird appearance that I do not aim at. |
Unit Converter
Japan determined to use metric method discarding "Syakkan method" used from ancient era. However, USA is still
keeping the use of other measurement method. This intelligent toy
converts numerical values between the units categorizing Length/Distance,
Area, Volume, Weight, and Temperature.
Type a numerical value in a window and click Convert. Each window displays the conversion result
for each unit at the same time.
Length/Distance converter
Example:
Distance between Tokyo and Osaka is around 650km. How many miles?
The answer is "403.7" miles. It's almost equivalent with the distance between SF and LA.
School ground of Tokyo Metropolitan Aoyama high school was relatively big
but was not enough to make straight tracks for 100m dash at sports festival.
Due to the reason, 100 yard dash was adopted instead of 100m dash. How
many meters is the 100 yards? It should be shorter than 100m.
The right answer is "91m".
My height is 5 feet 7 inches. Please make a note that this is not 5.7
feet. This is one of big defect of non-metric method which is not
decimal. How high am I using centimeters?
The right answer is "172.78cm". I may extend and shrink daily as usual, though.
Area converter
Example:
My friend bought a home which is 4,500 square feet and the lot size is
38,800 square feet. How many Tsubos (Japanese ancient unit), square
meters, and acres are they?
The right answers are "122.5" Tsubo, "405"m2
and "1056" Tsubo, "3492"m2, "0.86" acres.
Volume converter
Example:
Weekly drink water consumption is about 11 gallons. How many Shos
(Japanese ancient unit already obsolete) and litters is it?
The right answers are "23" Shos and "41.69" litters.
Weight converter
Example:
My weight is measured by pound here in USA like professional wrestlers and
boxers. It's 160 pound using unreliable weight meter. How many kilograms?
The right answer is "72.64" kg.
Temperature Converter
Example:
When I was at Chicago, IL, from September to December to terminate a
company called GCA (Graphics Communications America), the temperature
went down to 17 degrees of Fahrenheit. What degree of Celsius is it?
The right answer is "-8.3" degrees of Celsius.
When the body temperature is as high as 38 degrees of Celsius, it's
called "high temperature". What degree of Fahrenheit is it?
The right answer is "100.4" degrees of Fahrenheit.
