The old-school imperial gang just refuses to go away! Miles, inches, yards, pounds, pints and other imperial measures are a bit random but still hanging around. You've probably bumped into pounds, ounces, miles, or Fahrenheit. Knowing rough metric equivalents for imperial units is like having a secret code - check these out:
- 1kg = 2.2lb
- 1 litre = 1.75 pints
- 1 gallon = 4.5 litres
- 5 miles = 8km
- 1 inch = 2.54cm
- 1 foot = 30cm
- 12 inches in a foot
- 16 ounces in a pound (lb)
- 14lb in a stone
Now, it's practice time! Take this quiz, and you'll be a master of units in no time. Good luck!
