Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (step) The step is a traditional unit of distance, equal to 1/2 pace. The step is traditionally equal to 30 inches or 76.2 centimeters. However, U.S. marching bands often use a shorter step of 22.5 inches (57.15 centimeters), so that 8 steps are made every 5 yards; this works well on American football fields, which have a chalkline every 5 yards. Using this shorter step is called marching "8 by 5." Unit Definition (cape inch) The cape inch is another traditional South African unit for distance. There are 12 cape inches in a cape foot. The Cape foot equals 12.396 English inches, 1.0330 English foot, or 31.4858 centimeters.
