This may seems weird, but it's in fact usefull.
unit 8 m2 -> 30 cm
Converting 8 m2 to 30 cm doesn't make any sense ? Well, in fact, if you want to convert 8 m2 to 30 cm, you'll need to take 26.66.. m long of your 30 cm large to make 8 m2.
It does make sense after all. In fact, it's function that is the most usefull in this plugin.
unit 0.2 cm -> in.min-1
It will take 4.72 s with a speed of 1 in by minute to make 0.2 cm.
unit 0.2 cm -> 3.1 in.min-1
It will take 1.52 s with a speed of 3.1 in by minute to make 0.2 cm.
Real life computer/mobile speed example
You have a quota of 50 GB of data with your mobile phone contract this month. Your phone can download up to 60 Mibit/s.
How long will you be able to last by downloading full speed ?
unit 50 GB -> 60 Mibit/s
6357.829 s ! Doesn't make any sense to me. Let's express that in hour !
unit 50 GB -> 60 Mibit/s : h
The answer is 1.766 hour.
You'll expire you quota in less than 2 hours by downloading full speed.
Now let's take a slower speed of 2 Mibit/s. How long will you last in days ?
unit 50 GB -> 2 Mibit/s : d
You'll last 2.2 days.
Real life car example (for non US)
How much is the distance 300 km if you convert it to the speed of 120 km/h ?
unit 300 km -> 120 km/h
It's 9000s. How many hours is that ?
unit 300 km -> 120 km/h : h
It's 2.5 hours.
