 Conversion of Units and Useful Formulas
U.S. Customary System:
Length: 12 inches (in.) = 1 foot (ft) Capacity: 8 fluid ounces (fl oz) = 1 cup (c)
3 ft = 1 yard (yd) 2 c = 1 pint (pt)
36 in. = 1 yard (yd) 2 pt = 1 quart (qt)
5280 ft = 1 mile (mile) 4 qt = 1 gallon (gal)
Weight: 16 ounces (oz) = 1 pound (lb) Energy: 778 foot‧pound (ft‧lb) = 1 British thermal unit (Btu)
2000 lb = 1 ton

Metric System:

10 10 10 10 10 10
k h da base unit d c m

Prefixes: kilo, k = 1000 Length: 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)

hecto, h = 100 1 hectometer (hm) = 100 m
deca, da = 10 1 decameter (dam) = 10 m
deci, d = 0.1 1 meter (m) = 1 m
centi, c = 0.01 1 decimeter (dm) = 0.1 m
milli, m = 0.001 1 centimeter (cm) = 0.01 m
micro, µ = 0.000 001 1 millimeter (mm) = 0.001 m
Mass: 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g) Capacity: 1 kiloliter (kl) = 1000 L
1 hectogram (hg) = 100 g 1 hectometer (hl) = 100 L
1 decagram (dag) = 10 g 1 decaliter (dal) = 10 L
1 gram (g) = 1 g 1 liter (L) = 1 L
1 decigram (dg) = 0.1 g 1 deciliter (dl) = 0.1 L
1 centigram (cg) = 0.01 g 1 centiliter (cl) = 0.01 L
1 milligram (mg) = 0.001 1 milliliter (ml) = 0.001 L
1 cubic centimeter (cm3) = 1 ml
Energy: 1 Calorie (C) = 1000 calories
1000 watt-hours (Wh) = 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh)

Conversion between U.S. Customary and the Metric System:

Length: 1 in. = 2.54 cm Weight: 1 oz = 28.35 g Capacity: 1 L = 1.06 qt Temperature:
1 m = 3.28 ft 1 lb = 454 g 1 gal = 3.79 L K = C + 273
1 m = 1.09 yd 1 kg = 2.2 lb 1 ml = 0.034 fl oz F = 1.8 C + 32
1 mi = 1.61 km 1 teaspoon (t) = 5 ml C = (F - 32)/1.8

Useful Formulas: I = P r t (simple interest) M=P+I (maturity value)

A C = V (amount-cost-value) d = r t (distance-rate-time)
