converting mm measurements to american standard

 

I went to one of those converter tables to find out the equivilant and
it did not make any sense to me...ie..i entered 468 mm and it came
back with 1 feet...the same for 5.5 mm...could someone here with this
knowledge, inform me the correct conversion for  both of those that i
mentioned?    468mm=                         5.5mm=

1" = 25.4mm, therefore:

    468mm = 18.4251"
    5.5mm =  0.2165"

sorry and thanks for answering, but this old fool is still
mystified ....468 is 18 inches, but what is 4251? .. and the other
0.2165 is what? if its a fraction, what is it?

 



0.4251 is a bit less than half an inch.

0.216 is a bit less than 1 quater inch.
