If you don't know their equivalence, then you can either get a common denominator, and compare the numerators. Or you can divide and convert them all to decimal form and then compare.
It depends on what you consider to be "customary" and what you wish to convert them to.
You need 2 things to begin with: 1) a unit of length: mm, cm, m, in, ft, miles, and so on. 2) what figure do you need to use to convert. For example: 1 Centimetre = 0.39370 Inches 0.39370 x 5 = 1.9685 inches in 5 centimetres
Convert feet to inches and fractions to decimals-multiply the length times the width and divide by twelve
Yards :)

There are different ways of converting weight, length, volume etc.

NONE -you cannot compare a LENGTH to a VOLUME
You cannot compare LENGTH to VOLUME - they are totally different.
