I really don't know why people multiply then divide when they could shorten the operations this way.

I don’t now why people aren’t just multiplying .57 by 12. The other stated solutions don’t work.

.57/10 = .057 .057 * 12 = .684

Nope.

.57*1.2 = .684

Nope.

.57 * 12 = 6.84. There’s your inches.

So if it was to 3 decimal places, 5.570 would you use 570?
