Study Notes
Length Conversions
- 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)
- 1 meter (m) = 1000 millimeters (mm)
- 1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in)
- 1 yard (yd) = 3 feet (ft)
- 1 mile (mi) = 5280 feet (ft)
- 1 kilometer (km) = 0.621 mile (mi)
- 1 meter (m) = 39.4 inches (in)
- 1 centimeter (cm) = 10 millimeters (mm)
Volume Conversions
- 1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL)
- 1 deciliter (dL) = 100 milliliters (mL)
- 1 liter (L) = 1000 cubic centimeters (cm³)
- 1 milliliter (mL) = 1 cubic centimeter (cm³)
- 1 milliliter (mL) = 1 cubic centimeter (cc)
- 1 quart (qt) = 4 cups
- 1 quart (qt) = 2 pints (pt)
- 1 gallon (gal) = 4 quarts (qt)
- 1 pint (pt) = 473 milliliters (mL)
- 1 teaspoon (tsp) = 5 milliliters (mL)
- 1 tablespoon (tbsp) = 15 milliliters (mL)
Mass Conversions
- 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)
- 1 gram (g) = 1000 milligrams (mg)
- 1 milligram (mg) = 1000 micrograms (mcg)
- 1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz)
- 1 kilogram (kg) = 2.20 pounds (lb)
- 1 gram (g) = 454 grams (g)
Time Conversions
- 1 hour (h) = 60 minutes (min)
- 1 minute (min) = 60 seconds (s)
Density
- Density = mass / volume
- Specific gravity (sp gr) = density of sample / density of water
Temperature Conversions
- Fahrenheit (⁰F) to Celsius (⁰C): TF = 1.8(Tc) + 32
- Celsius (⁰C) to Kelvin (K): TK = TC + 273
Conversion Example (2398 ft/s to miles/hr):
- 2398 ft/s x 60 s/min x 60 min/hr x 1 mi/ 5280 ft = 1635 miles/hr
