Unit Conversion

This may be useful in your science class:
The TI-89 has built in unit conversion! First, type in the value of the measurement you're converting from. Next, hit 2nd>3 to get to the units menu, find your unit (of the measurement you're converting from), and hit enter. Next, hit 2nd>MODE to get a little triangle arrow thing. Finally, go back into the units menu, and enter the unit that you're converting to. Hit enter and the conversion will be done for you! If you can remember what each unit is, you can just type it, rather than finding it in the units menu.
Example:
1_in>_cm
= 2.54_cm
