Mfundo, kagawo kakang'ono ka chiyeso, amagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri kutalika kwa Imperial ndi US machitidwe achikhalidwe. Mu yosindikiza ndi zojambulajambula, imatanthauza kayezedwe kakang'ono kwambiri mkati mwa mzere wa lemba. Kalekale, osindikiza ankadalira ndodo zachitsulo zokhala ndi nsonga zosongoka poyesa mtundu kukula Malinga ndi mfundo.
Mu dongosolo la Chingerezi, mfundo imodzi ikufanana ndi 1/70th ya inchi (pafupifupi mainchesi 0.013837). Kumbali ina, mu dongosolo la America, limatanthauza 1/100th ya phazi (kuzungulira 0.3048006 mainchesi). Mfundoyi yapezanso kugwiritsidwa ntchito mumayendedwe ena oyezera, monga Pika- ndondomeko yovomerezedwa ndi osindikiza.
Nthawi zambiri imakhala yofanana ndi 1/72nd ya inchi pakusindikiza kwa digito ndi kusindikiza pakompyuta - ngakhale nthawi zina imakhala yamtengo wapatali pa 1/96th - yofananira ndi momwe imalembedwera pomwe imakhala ngati gawo laling'ono kwambiri la miyeso limodzi ndi picas ndi ciceros.
Mfundo zimagwira ntchito yofunika kwambiri m'mafakitale ambiri, kuphatikiza kusindikiza, kulongedza, ndi kutsatsa. Amazindikira kutalika kwa mitundu pomwe kuli kofunikira mkati mwa magawo osindikizira ndi otsatsa aku United States; Kugwiritsa ntchito ku Europe kumatengera kusindikiza ndi kuyika mapulogalamu m'malo mwake.
Chomwe chimapangitsa mfundo kukhala yofunika kwambiri ndikutha kwawo kupereka ziro zomwe zimagawidwa padziko lonse lapansi pamiyeso yosiyanasiyana. Ngakhale olamulira amatithandiza kudziwa kutalika kwa mainchesi kapena ma centimita, kusankha malo oyambira awa - pakuwunika konse kotsatira - kumaphatikizapo kutsimikizira ziro zofunika kwambiri zomwe nthawi zambiri zimakhala kumapeto kwa zomwe zanenedwazo. wolamulira. Pokhazikitsa mfundo yodziwika bwino iyi kutsogolo, kufananiza miyeso pakati pa zinthu zosiyanasiyana kapena anthu kumakhala kosavuta.
