    One metre is exactly equivalent to ⁠ 5 000 / 127 ⁠ inches and to ⁠ 1 250 / 1 143 ⁠ yards. A simple mnemonic to assist with conversion is "three 3s": 1 metre is nearly equivalent to 3 feet 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 inches. This gives an overestimate of 0.125 mm. The ancient Egyptian cubit was about 0.5 m (surviving rods are 523–529 mm). [27]
