25.4 mm = 1 inch.

Can we take this from here alone?

Althogh it's air pressure, you just need to do a simple conversion from inches to mm, where 1 inch = 25.4 mm.

So, 29.4 in. Hg is (29.4 x 25.4) mmHg....go work it out.

Did you somehow forget how to convert inches to mm?

Simple equation... 2.54 cm per inch. Shift your decimal to convert cm to mm and multiply... you do the math.
