If working with feet, inches and fractions or a combination of these, express the length in inches before converting. Use a calculator or consult ourFraction-to-Decimal Conversion Charts if necessary, to get decimal equivalents for fractions.

Example: Convert 5 feet, 5 and three-quarter inches to meters.

Convert feet to inches: 5 × 12 = 60 inches

Express three-quarters as a decimal: .75

Add values together: 60 + 5 + .75 = 65.75 inches

Now convert to meters:

One inch equals .0254 meter, so multiply.

65.75 × .0254 = 1.67005 (round off to hundredths: 1.67 meters).One meter equals39.37 inches3.2808 feet1.0936 yardsOne centimeter equals.3937 inchOne millimeter equals.03937 inchOne kilometer equals3280.84 feet1093.61 yards.62137 mile.53996 nautical mileOne nautical mile equals1.852 kilometers1852 meters6076.115 feet2025.372 yards1.15078 milesOne inch equals.0254 meter2.54 centimeters25.4 millimetersOne foot equals.3048 meter30.48 centimeters304.8 millimeters12 inchesOne yard equals.9144 meter91.44 centimeters914.4 millimeters36 inches3 feetOne mile equals1.609344 kilometers1609.344 meters5280 feet1760 yards.868976 nautical mile

Mass or WeightIf working with pounds, ounces and fractions or a combination of these, express the value in ounces before converting.

Example: Convert 7 pounds, 9 and a half ounces to kilograms.

Convert pounds to ounces: 7 × 16 = 112

Express the half as a decimal: .5

Add values together: 112 + 9 + .5 = 121.5

Now convert to kilograms:

One ounce equals .02835 kilograms, so multiply.

121.5 × .02835 = 3.444525 (round off to hundredths: 3.44 kilograms).One metric ton equals1.10229 U.S. tons2204.59 poundsOne kilogram equals2.2046 pounds35.273 ouncesOne gram equals.035273 ounce15.432 grainsOne U.S. ton equals907.2 kilograms.9072 metric tons2000 poundsOne pound equals453.6 grams.4536 kilograms16 ounces7000 grainsOne ounce equals28.35 grams.02835 kilograms437.5 grainsOne grain equals64.8 milligrams

TemperatureTo convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 1.8, then add 32.

Example: 10° Celsius

10 × 1.8 = 18

18 + 32 = 50° Fahrenheit

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32, then divide by 1.8.

Example: 77° Fahrenheit

77 - 32 = 45

45 ÷ 1.8 = 25° Celsius

  1. Be sure both dimensions are in the same units (meters or whatever).
  2. Multiply length times width to get square units.
  3. Convert square units if desired.

Example: A room measures 13 by 15 feet. Calculate the area in square meters.

13 feet × 15 feet = 195 square feet.

One square foot equals .0929 square meter, so multiply by .0929.

195 × .0929 = 18.1155 square meters.

Capacity or VolumeTo calculate capacity or volume from dimensions:
  1. Be sure all dimensions are in the same units (meters or whatever).
  2. Multiply length times width times height to get cubic units.
  3. Convert cubic units if desired.

Example: A refrigerator is 60 inches high, 24 inches wide and 18 inches deep (interior dimensions). Calculate the capacity in cubic feet.

60 inches × 24 inches × 18 inches = 25920 cubic inches.

One cubic foot equals 1728 cubic inches, so divide by 1728.

25920 ÷ 1728 = 15 cubic feet capacity.One fluid ounce equals29.5735 milliliters6 teaspoons2 tablespoons.125 cup1.8047 cubic inchesOne liquid cup equals236.588 milliliters48 teaspoons16 tablespoons8 fluid ounces.5 pint.25 quart14.4375 cubic inchesOne liquid pint equals.47318 liter473.176 milliliters96 teaspoons32 tablespoons16 fluid ounces2 cups.5 quart.125 gallon28.875 cubic inchesOne liter equals202.88 teaspoons67.628 tablespoons33.814 fluid ounces4.2268 cups2.1134 pints1.0567 quarts.26417 gallon.11377 peck61.0237 cubic inchesOne milliliter equals.20288 teaspoonOne cubic meter equals264.172 gallons113.765 pecks28.4413 bushels35.3147 cubic feet1.30795 cubic yardsOne teaspoon equals4.9289 milliliters.30078 cubic inchOne tablespoon equals14.7868 milliliters3 teaspoons.5 fluid ounce.90234 cubic inchOne liquid quart equals.94635 liter946.353 milliliters192 teaspoons64 tablespoons32 fluid ounces4 cups2 pints.25 gallon57.75 cubic inchesOne liquid gallon equals3.7854 liters768 teaspoons256 tablespoons128 fluid ounces16 cups8 pints4 quarts231 cubic inchesOne dry peck equals8.79 liters.25 bushel536.4 cubic inchesOne dry bushel equals35.16 liters4 pecks2145.6 cubic inches1.2417 cubic feetOne cubic inch equals16.3871 milliliters3.3247 teaspoons1.1082 tablespoons.55411 fluid ounceOne cubic foot equals28.3168 liters7.48052 gallons3.22148 pecks.80537 bushel1728 cubic inchesOne cubic yard equals764.555 liters.76455 cubic meter201.974 gallons86.98 pecks21.745 bushels27 cubic feet
