m_momo1 0 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Come on gribz - you should know even a yard is exaclty 3 feet and a metre is bigger than a yard. In fact if you had one of those rulers at school with inches on one side and centimetres on the other you should have noticed that 12 inches is almost the same as 30 cm. That makes aproximately three and a third feet per metre, multiply that by 15 and you get 50... They do say that schooling went downhill in the late 80's... To be more exact you should take 2.54cm per inch so 15m / 0.0254(m/inch) is 590.55 inches. Divide that by 12 inches/ft gives 49.21ft or 49ft 2.55 inches.

pete 2,499 Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Every one knows a meter is 39.37inches surlely. So 1 centimeter is 0.3937. 1500 centimeters multiplied by 0.3937 = 590.6 inches. 590.6\12 =49.21feet. or you can google for the answer;) http://www.manuelsweb.com/in_cm.htm 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calculators were invented for my generation at school Probably a bad thing as it done the maths for us. However i thought it was 2.3ft per metre. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudbertz 0 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 i think he was pushed I dont think he'd have been holding the Rosary beads if he was pushed mate. And in saying that, isnt it a 'sin' to commit suicide if you're Catholic? Did he think if he held onto beads he might bypass the sin and get in good with the man upstairs? I thought that was pretty weird. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
