Question

When traveling a highway in the mountains, you may see elevation signs that read "914 m (3000 ft)". Critics of the metric system claimt hat such numbers show the metric system is more complicated. How would you alter such signs to be more consistent with a switch to the metric system?

I have no idea how to answer this question. This is also only chapter One which is

Introduction, Measuremetn, Estimating

Answer 1

You could post signs at the beginning of the mountains that read "Idiots stay off this highway"

I would put the feet below, in much smaller print. Make the feet harder to read.

Answer 2

wow ok thanks I thought it was more complicated thanks!

Answer 3

Or, make a sign at another location which is at an elevation with round numbers in metric, for example at 900 m. (and put 2976.2 feet in smaller print!)
