Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

What does 3/4 means

In the Imperial English measurement system, the smallest unit of length is the inch. The inch is then divided into smaller fractional portions, such as 1/2 inch, 1/4 inch, 1/8th inch, 1/16th inch, and so forth. frustrating and complex, and an excellent example of why the SI is a vastly supperior system of measurement.

3/4 of an inch is 3 รท 4, or 0.75 inches. As one inch is 2.54 cm, that would be 2.54 cm/in x 0.75 in = 1.905 cm.
