The roman cubitus is an ancient unit of measure equivalent to 0.554m . Convert 2.22/m height of basketball forward to cubiti

Your value for a Roman cubitus is incorrect. It is actually equivalent to 0.445m not 0.554m.

The answer to your question is 4.99cubiti or 5 cubiti (if rouded-off).

Here is why:


2.22m * (1cubitus)/(0.445m) \\ =(2.22cubiti)/(0.445) \\ 4.99cubiti

If you round-off your answer then your answer will be 5 cubiti.
