Common length conversion mistakes
-
A yard looks like a meter but is 0.9144 m, nearly 10% shorter. Over short distances the difference hides; over 1,000 yards it has grown to 86 meters. Multiply yards by 0.9144 to get meters instead of treating them as equal.

Rounding the inch to 2.5 cm feels harmless, but the exact value is 2.54 cm, a 1.6% error. Over a 100-inch measurement that is already 4 cm off, and the error compounds in chained calculations. Use the exact definition: 1 inch = 2.54 cm, exactly.
