- Length:
- 1 inch (in) = 2.54 centimeters (cm)
- 1 foot (ft) = 12 inches = 0.3048 meters (m)
- 1 yard (yd) = 3 feet = 0.9144 meters
- 1 mile (mi) = 1,760 yards = 1.609344 kilometers (km)
- Area:
- 1 square inch (in²) = 6.4516 square centimeters (cm²)
- 1 square foot (ft²) = 144 square inches = 0.092903 square meters (m²)
- 1 square yard (yd²) = 9 square feet = 0.836127 square meters
- 1 acre (ac) = 43,560 square feet = 4047 square meters
- Volume:
- 1 fluid ounce (fl oz) = 29.5735 milliliters (mL)
- 1 cup (c) = 8 fluid ounces = 236.588 milliliters
- 1 pint (pt) = 2 cups = 473.176 milliliters
- 1 quart (qt) = 2 pints = 946.353 milliliters
- 1 gallon (gal) = 4 quarts = 3.78541 liters (L)
- Weight:
- 1 ounce (oz) = 28.3495 grams (g)
- 1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces = 453.592 grams
