Tip #113 – Calculate With Google
A lesser-known but highly useful feature of Google is its built-in calculator function.
Need to find out how many miles are in 5 kilometers? Simply type in “miles in 5 kilometers” in Google’s search box, and the answer is calculated for you.
Google will also do quick currency and recipe conversions. Type “50 Euros in dollars” to get the U.S. equivalent. Or type: “half of 4 1/2 cups, in tablespoons” to convert cooking measurements.
For mathematical computations type “50 + 35” and Google will return “50 + 35 = 85”; type “square root of 42” and Google returns “square root(42) = 6.4807407.
