It's handy to regard unit conversions as though the units were
algebraic symbols. They can then be cancelled. For example 2.54 cm/
in X 12 in/ft = 30.48 cm/ft. Inch is in the denominator of the first
and in the numerator of the second. The two cancel. Take the last
result and multiply by 3 ft/yd and you get 91.44 cm/yd as ft cancels.
Take he reciprocal of this last result and you get 0.1094 yd/cm. It
avoids a lot of errors.

So Jim, Michael is right
( Further, your math is wrong. 2100/25.4 = 82 lines, which
translates into
41 lp/mm. Keep in mind that these tests are at full contrast (i.e.
Black lines
on white background) so comparison to normal 50% MTF is difficult.

which makes digital APS-C no where near to 35mm film in terms of
resolution.
