Google is primarily known for being a search engine, but did you know it’s also a handy converter of most any type of units you can think of?
For example, if you want to know how many inches there are in 7 miles, simply type convert 7 miles to inches into the Google search box and you’ll immediately get your answer.
Need to find out how many ounces are in a 55 gallon drum? Just type convert 55 gallons to ounces.
You can convert currencies are well. Try typing convert 625 yen to dollars into Google and check out the answer.
Pretty cool stuff, right?
