THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO TRAVELLING AMERICA

WEIGHTS, MEASURES, DISTANCES,
AND OTHER CONVERSIONS

The U.S. has for decades been wrestling with the possibility of converting to the metric system. Sure, it makes sense, but it just hasn’t happened (and probably won’t in our lifetimes).
...... So get used to inches, feet, and miles. Quarts and gallons. Degrees Fahrenheit rather than Centigrade. Here’s the world’s shortest conversion table (values are approximate), U.S. to Metric:

...... 1 inch = 2.5 centimeters
...... 1 foot = .3 meters
...... 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers
...... 1 ounce = 28 grams
...... 1 pound = .45 kilograms
...... 1 quart = just under 1 liter
...... 1 gallon = 4 quarts, just under 4 liters
...... 32 degrees F (cold) = 0 degrees C
...... 50 degrees F (cool) = 10 degrees C
...... 72 degrees F (pleasant) = 22 degrees C
...... 90 degrees F (hot) = 32 degrees C

...... See the complete book How To Travel America for conversion tables for clothing and shoe sizes, as well as other units of weight and measure.
