METRIC/US CONVERSIONS
Although the U.S. relies heavily on our standard measurement system, we do use some
metric units. Therefore, we need to know how to move back and forth between the
systems.
Some Common Metric/U.S. Conversions
Length
Mass/Weight
Area
Volume

1 mi = 1.61 km
1 kg = 2.2 lb
1 in
= 6.45 cm
I L = 1.1 qt

Recommended Process for Working Metric/US Conversion Problems:
1. Identify the conversion or conversions you will need from the table and write
them down on your paper.
2. Write the conversion as a fraction. Orient that fraction so that the units you no
longer want will cancel out and leave the desired units behind.
3. Perform all necessary calculations.
Example 17: Express 5 ml in terms of cups.
Example 18: The country of Cambodia is approximately 700 km from N to S. What
would this distance be in miles?
