HELP!

Please.....does anyone know what 1/4" equals in the metric millimeter world?

I've checked my enclyclopedic dictionary table.....hoping for a nice little chart that showed various millimeters.......so I could use a ruler and figure out the 1/4" thingy.....alas, they just talk bout converting to inches and multiplying by numbers to get an inch.....but I think I wanna go the other way?

Math was my weak link at school :(

Decimal inches multiplied by 25.4 = approximate mm. N.B. When
specifying metric sheet or trim sizes, fractional approximate mm measurements
must be rounded off to the nearest whole number; i.e., 50.8 mm
is not a practical measurement; it should be rounded up to 51 mm,
and 0.5 mm is always rounded down.

Measure twice - cut once. ;-)
