: :  Ah, and I'm still trying to figure out that inch thingy! why must you guys be so different!? anyways Israel is metric too I guess

: 2.5 cm is about an inch.

: There are 12 inches in a foot.

: There are 5128 feet in a mile.

: There are 3 feet in a yard.

: A yard is about a meter.

: See, it isn't that hard

: Don't ask me how my tbsp are in a tBsp or quarts in a gallon or whatever... I have never understood imperial fluid measurements at all.

8 ounces in a cup

2 cups in a pint

2 pints in a quart

4 quarts in a gallon

10 gallons in a blodget

..ok I made up blodget

The whole pounds thing is silly too. 2000 pounds equal a ton, but thats all I know.
