THE METRIC SYSTEM AND EQUIVALENTS
LINEAR MEASURE
SQUARE MEASURE
1 Centimeter = 10 Millimeters = O.O1 Meters = 0.3937 Inches
1 Sq Centimeter = 100 Sq Millimeters = 0.155 Sq Inches
1 Meter = 100 Centimeters = 1OOO Millimeters = 39.37 Inches
1 Sq Meter = 1O,OOO Sq Centimeters = 10.76 Sq Feet
1 Kilometer = 1000 Meters = 0.621 Miles
1 Sq Kilometer = 1,000,OOO Sq Meters = O.386 Sq Miles
WEIGHTS
CUBIC MEASURE
1 Gram = O.0O1 Kilograms = 1OOO Milligrams = O.035 Ounces
1 Cu Centimeter = 1000 Cu Millimeters = O.06 Cu Inches
1 Kilogram = 1000 Grams = 2.2 Lb
1 Cu Meter = 1,000,000 Cu Centimeters = 35.31 Cu Feet
1 Metric Ton = 1000 Kilograms = 1 Megagram = 1.1 Short Tons
TEMPERATURE
LIQUID MEASURE
5/9 (oF - 32) = oC
1 Milliliter = O.OO1 Liters = 0.0338 Fluid Ounces
212o Fahrenheit is equivalent to 100o Celsius
1 Liter = 1OOO Milliliters = 33.82 Fluid Ounces
90° Fahrenheit, is equivalent to 32.2o Celsius
32o Fahrenheit is equivalent to 0o Celsius
9/5 Co + 32 = Fo
