[USMA:31651] Paper

[john mercer]

Hello i have a question.  I converted the size of paper 8.5x11 to mm and using the conversion factor of 25.4 mm per inch came out with the numbers 215.9x279.4. Would it be legal on the package of paper if it said 216.x280 mm? Are 8.5x11 sheets of paper exactly 8.5x11 inches? I know most people on this list don't like soft conversions but they are in my opinion better than no metric at all. Do packages of 8.5x11 inch paper have mm on the package as well? Thank you. John.
