0.75 hands/7.62 cm Explanation: Indique un valor (hand (mano)): 0.75 Medidas métricas kilómetro (km) 0.0000762 metro (m) 0.0762 decímetro (dm) 0.762 centímetro (cm) 7.62 milímetro (mm) 76.2 micrómetro (micrón) 76 200 nanómetro (nm) 76 200 000 ångström 761 999 999 https://www.convert-me.com/es/convert/length/hand.html?u=han... The hand is a non-SI unit of measurement of length standardized to 4 inches (101.6 mm). It is used to measure the height of horses in some English-speaking countries, including Australia, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States. It was originally based on the breadth of a human hand. The adoption of the international inch in 1959 allowed for a standardized imperial form and a metric conversion. It may be abbreviated to "h" or "hh". Although measurements between whole hands are usually expressed in what appears to be decimal format, the subdivision of the hand is not decimal but is in base 4, so subdivisions after the radix point are in quarters of a hand, which are inches. Thus, 62 inches is fifteen and a half hands, or 15.2 hh (normally said as "fifteen-two", or occasionally in full as "fifteen hands two inches"). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_(unit) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2019-05-06 15:22:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Page 23 Los sistemas de medidas concretos tales como las de longitud, superficie tuvieron una evolución muy distinta. Los de longitud derivaron de las dimensiones de distintas partes del cuerpo humano, como el codo, el dedo, la mano o el pie. Sin embargo en las medidas de capacidad hubo un doble sistema según fuera para medir líquido o sólido, y los nombres de ambos sistemas derivaron de los recipientes en los que eran contenidos o de sus divisores. http://biblioteca.usac.edu.gt/tesis/04/04_9144.pdf Pages 13 and 14 (there are some amusing illustrations) Otra causa de conflictos es la falta de capacidad técnica en los municipios. Se mide terreno con instrumentos diferentes: la mano, una vara, un paso, una cuerda. Entonces, las medidas para el mismo terreno podrían ser diferentes, dependiendo de la persona que mide y con qué instrumento. Hay síndicos u otros técnicos que miden la tierra correctamente, pero no saben dónde está ubicada; de repente desmembran la tierra de la comunidad vecina o de una finca privada y no de la muni. La mayoría de los síndicos y técnicos del municipio no están capacitados para medir la tierra. https://www.ziviler-friedensdienst.org/sites/ziviler-frieden... |

Unless you can, I'd leave it in Spanish and say the meaning is unclear. |
