Measuring Weight and Temperature

• US Customary
  • 16 oz = 1 pound (lb)
  • 2000 lb = 1 Ton (T)
• Metric System basic unit gram, g
• 1 kg = 2.2 lb
• 1 cm³ = 1 mL = 1 g (for H₂O)
• 1 m³ = 1 kL = 1000 kg (for H₂O)
• 1 oz = 29g
• 1 lb = .45 kg
• 1T = .9 metric tonnes (t)
• Conversions in these systems are as before.

  Temperature

• Three temperature scales
  • Fahrenheit
  • Celsius
  • Kelvin
• Conversions
  • F = 9/5C + 32
  • C = 5/9(F-32)
  • K = C + 273.15
