It all depends on what imperial measurement you want to convert to metric e.g. if you want to convert 10 km into miles, this is the method:
You have to memorise the fact that 5 miles is approx 8 km.
Therefore 10 miles is double the number of km.
So, (5 x 2 = 10) 10 miles is 8 x 2 = 16 km.
Now, if you want to find out how many miles is 2.5 km (5/2 = 2.5), divide 8 by 2 = 4. So 2.5 km = approx 4 miles.
The two types of measurement systems are the metric system and the imperial system. The metric system is used worldwide and is based on units of ten, while the imperial system is primarily used in the United States and is based on historical British units.
A gallon is certainly not metric. It is imperial.
Metric tons can't be converted to imperial gallons. Metric tons measure mass, while imperial gallons measure volume.
There is no such thing as a metric gallon. The metric measurement is litres. There are 4.54609188 litres to an imperial gallon.

The opposing systems are imperial and metric, not customary. But, meters are metric.
I'm guessing by customary, you mean imperial. if so inches are customary/imperial
74.480 Tonne. No need to use the word metric . A Tonne is metric , whereas a Ton is Imperial. They are spelled differently so that we all know which is Metric and which is Imperial.
It is neither.
No. It is imperial.
A metric tonne is lighter than the imperial equivalent by roughly 16 kg. The imperial ton weighs 2,240 lbs (or 1,016 kg), while the metric tonne is 1,000 kg.
I was taught the imperial system whilst a schoolboy in the UK, many years ago. So I prefer imperial rather than metric. But, as metric is becoming the norm, I have become familiar with both systems.
