Inches of mercury is something that would only be used in America. Elsewhere in the world, the mercury height would be in millimeters, or about 760mm (76cm).
 
  Mercury has a density of about 13.56 g/cm3, or in other words, each cm of mercury weighs about 13,300 dynes. So 760mm of mercury weighs 1,013,000 dynes. 1 mb is 1 dyne/cm2, so what is the air pressure in mb?
  A) 1,000,000 mb B) 1013 mb C) 760 mb D) 1.013 mb
