American (U.S) Conversions to Metric Conversions

	Metric Elements
	The three basic metric units are the meter (longitude), the gram (I weigh), and the liter (volume).The key to the metric prefixes is
	1000 = kilometer 100 = hectoliter 10 = decameter	0.1 = decimeter 0.01 = centimeter 0.001 = milimeter

Common Dimensions

Longitude
kilometer = 0.62137 milimeter
meter = 3.2808 feet
centimeter = 0.3937 inches
mille = 1.6093 kilometer
feet = 0.3048 meters
inches = 2.54 centimeter

Weight
kilogram = 2.2046 pounds
gram = 0.0353 ounces
short ton = 907.1847 kilogram
pound = 0.4536 kilogram
ounces = 28.3495 grams

Volumen
hectoliter = 100 liter
liter = 100 cubic liter
gallon (EE.UU.) = 3.7853 liter
cubic pounds = 16.3871 cubic centimeter

Area
square kilometer = square millon meter
hectare = 10,000 square meter
square meter = 10.7639 square feet
square mille = 640 acres
square feet = 144 square pounds

	Metric Conversions to American Conversions (U.S)
	To calculate the American measure (U.S.) approximate equivalent to a well-known metric measure, simply multiply the metric quantity for the factor of the conversion. Example: 38 Kilograms = 84 pounds, approximately (38 x 2.2046 = 83.78)
	Longitude milimeter x 0.0394 = pounds centimeter x 0.3937 = pounds meter x 3.2808 = feet meter x 1.0936 = yards kilometer x 0.6214 = milles Weight grams x 0.0353 = ounces kilograms x 2.2046 = pounds ton x 1.1 = short ton Volumen mililiter x 0.0338 = fluid ounces liter x 2.1134 = pintas liter x 1.0567 = quarter liter x 0.2642 = gallons cubic meter x 35.3145 = cubic feet cubic meter x 1.3079 = cubic yards	Area Square centimeter x 0.155 = square pounds square meter x 1.1960 = square yards square meter x 0.3861 = square milles square hectares x 2.4710 = acres Temperature centigrade temperature x 1.8(+32) = degrees temperature

	American (U.S) Conversions to Metric Conversions
	To calculate the equivalent approximate metric measure to an American measure (U.S.), simply multiply the American quantity (U.S.) for the factor of the conversion. Example: 563 milles = 900 kilometer, approximately (563 x 1.6093 = 906.04)
	Longitude pounds x 2.54 = centimeter feet x 30.48 = centimeter yards x 0.9144 = meter milles x 1.6093 = kilometer Weight ounces x 28.3495 = grams pounds x 0.4536 = kilogram short ton x 0.9072 = ton Volumen fluid ounces x 29.574 = mililiter pintas x 0.4732 = liter quarter x 0.9463 = liter gallons x 3.7853 = liter cubic feet x 0.0283 = cubic meter cubic yardsx 0.7646 = cubic meter	Area square pounds x 6.452 = square centimeter square feet x 0.0929 = square meter square yards x 0.8361 = square meter square milles x 2.59 = square kilometer acres x 0.4047 = hectares Temperature degrees temperature -32(/1.8) = centigrade temperature
