#108347 - Units - example
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Instead of:
(330m/s) * (0.030s) = 9.9m
Do:
(330m/s) * (30ms) = 9900mm
Thus avoiding any need for non-integer values!

Displaying 9900mm as 9.9m is then simply a matter of inserting the decimal point in the right place (and possibly dropping some of the least-significant digits)

Of course, you could just as easily do::
(330m/s) * (3cs) = 990cm
("cs" = centi-seconds; hundredths of a second)


etc, etc, etc,...
