  LENGTH:

  • 1 foot = 12 inches
  • 1 yard = 3 feet
  • 1 mile = 5280 feet
  • 1 foot = 0.3048 meters
  • 1 mile = 1.6094 kilometers

  
  

  VOLUME:

  • 1 cubic foot = 12^3 inches = 1,728 cubic inches
  • 1 cubic foot = 0.02832 cubic meters

  MASS:

  • 1 pound = 16
  • 1 pound = 0.4536 kilograms

  
  

  TEMPERATURE:

  
  

  *F = (9/5)*C +32
• METRIC Measurement System


  LENGTH:

  1000 millimeter = 1 meter

  100 centimeter = 1 meter

  10 decimeter = 1 meter

  0.1 dekameter = 1 meter

  0.001 hecto meter = 1 meter

  1000 meters = 1 kilometer

  1 meter = 3.2808 feet

  1 kilometer = 0.6214 miles

  VOLUME:

  1 ml = 1 cubic centimeter

  1 cubic meter = 100^3 cubic centimeters = 1,000,000 cm^3

  1 cubic meter = 35.3145 cubic feet

  1 milligram = 0.001 grams

  1 centigram = 0.01 grams

  1 decigram = 0.1 grams

  1 dekagram = 10 grams

  1 hectogram = 100 grams

  1 kilogram = 1000 grams

  1 metric ton = 1000 kilograms

  1 kilogram ≅ 2.2046 pounds

  TEMPERATURE:

  *C = (5/9)(*F-32)
