The hands value has at most one digit after the decimal mark, and has an optional fraction. A precision of 2 assumes |frac=2 (round to nearest 1 ⁄ 2 inch). A precision of 3 or more assumes |frac=4 (round to nearest 1 ⁄ 4 inch).
1.75 m – (5 feet 8 inches) – height of average U.S. male human as of 2002 (source: U.S. CDC as per female above) 2.4 m – wingspan of a mute swan; 2.5 m – height of a sunflower; 2.7 m – length of a leatherback sea turtle, the largest living turtle; 2.72 m – (8 feet 11 inches) – tallest-known human (Robert Wadlow) [31]
medium-bore refers to calibers with a diameter of 0.33 inches (8.4 mm) to 0.39 inches (9.9 mm) large-bore refers to calibers with a diameter of 0.40 inches (10 mm) or larger There is much variance in the use of the term "small-bore", which over the years has changed considerably, with anything under 0.577 inches (14.7 mm) considered "small-bore ...
The 5-inch (127 mm)/54-caliber (Mk 45) lightweight gun is a U.S. naval artillery gun mount consisting of a 5 in (127 mm) L54 Mark 19 gun on the Mark 45 mount. [1] It was designed and built by United Defense , a company later acquired by BAE Systems Land & Armaments , which continued manufacture.
To change a common fraction to decimal notation, do a long division of the numerator by the denominator (this is idiomatically also phrased as "divide the denominator into the numerator"), and round the result to the desired precision. For example, to change 1 / 4 to a decimal expression, divide 1 by 4 (" 4 into 1 "), to obtain exactly ...
Fractions such as 1 ⁄ 3 are displayed as decimal approximations, for example rounded to 0.33333333. Also, some fractions (such as 1 ⁄ 7, which is 0.14285714285714; to 14 significant figures) can be difficult to recognize in decimal form; as a result, many scientific calculators are able to work in vulgar fractions or mixed numbers.
According to the geological science convention, this is used to form larger units of time by the application of SI prefixes to it; at least up to giga-annum or Ga, equal to 1,000,000,000 a (short scale: one billion years, long scale: one milliard years).
Rack units are typically denoted without a space between the number of units and the 'U'. Thus, a 4U server enclosure (case) is seven inches (177.8 mm) high, or more practically, built to occupy a vertical space seven inches high, with sufficient clearance to allow movement of adjacent hardware.
