strung together this:

Most parking bays on new developments are 4.8m by 2.4m, which is
conversion from 16 feet by 8 feet.

Would that be 14.4m x 7.2m?

No.

Think about it a bit more.

I'm thinking...OK, I give up.

In what system does 16 x 8 feet convert to 14.4m x 7.2m? (I'd make the
latter 47.25 x 23.5 feet; let us in on what you're talking about.)
