Metric-English Conversions
Although the metric system is globally accepted as the standard system of measurement,
the United States continues to use the English system of measure. As our world becomes
smaller and we find ourselves involved in global business, educational, and leisure activi-
ties, an understanding of and ability to use the metric system becomes more
important.
Use the conversion tables on the inside back cover of this manual to figure out the metric equivalent for each of the
following units.

Length Conversion:
1 inch = 2.54 centimetres(multiply the length value by 2.54)
1 metre = 3 feet 3.37 inches (for an approximate result, multiply the length value by 3.281)
1 mile = 1.609 kilometres (for an approximate result, multiply the length value by 1.609)
Volume Conversion:
1 gallon = 4.546 litres (multiply the volum
e value by 4.546)
1 cubic inch = 16.387 cubic centimetres (multiply the volume value by 16.387)
Mass Conversion:
1 ounce =28.35 grams (for an approximate result, multiply the mass value by 28.35)
1 pound = 0.454 kilogram (for an approximate result, divide the mass value by 2.205)
