A yard is 0.9m.
1.1 yard per m or 1yd and 4in.
A foot is 30cm.
An inch is 2.5cm.
4in per 10cm.
2m is 6ft 8in =180+20=2m
5f 4in is 150+10=1.6m
1.6m is 3ft 4in + 24in=5ft 4in
Even converting to and back isn't bad... work in a machine shop for a while and it will be second nature. Also metric/standard tools do not cross the line on the floor, only you and the work piece on different pieces of equipment. 25um looks like a mil, but it's not!
