Converting Units Examples This section is on “quick conversions” between Imperial and Metric units. Here are some examples of calculations that can be used to estimate conversions. Basic conversions need memorising!!! 15 miles = km ? Use. . . 15 divided by 5 = 3 5 miles = 8 km 3 x 8 = 24 km Menu © Boardworks Ltd 2001
Converting Units 5 inches = Examples 1 cm ? Use. . . 1 inch = 2. 54 cm 2 x 5 + 0. 5 x 5 = 10 + 2. 5 = 12. 5 cm (approx. ) (12. 7) 80 km = miles ? Use. . . 80 divided by 8 =10 20 inches = 8 km = 5 miles 10 x 5 = 50 miles cm ? Use. . . 1 inch = 2. 54 cm 2 x 20 + 0. 5 x 20 = 40 + 10 = 50 cm (approx. ) (50. 8) Menu © Boardworks Ltd 2001
Converting Units 8 gal. = Examples 2 litres ? Use. . . 1 gal. = 4. 54 l 4 x 8 + 0. 5 x 8 = 32 + 4 = 36 litres (approx. ) (36. 32) 10 stone = kg ? Use. . . 1 stone = 6. 36 kg 6 x 10 + 0. 5 x 10 = 60 + 5 = 65 kg (approx. ) (63. 6) 4 inches = cm ? Use. . . 1 inch = 2. 54 cm 2 x 4 + 0. 5 x 4 = 8 + 2 = 10 cm (approx. ) (10. 16) Menu © Boardworks Ltd 2001
Converting Units 200 miles = Examples 3 km ? Use. . . 5 miles = 8 km 200 divided by 5 = 40 20 gal. = 40 x 8 = 320 km litres ? Use. . . 1 gal. = 4. 54 l 4 x 20 + 0. 5 x 20 = 80 + 10 = 90 l 6 stone = kg ? Use. . . (approx. ) (90. 8) 1 stone = 6. 36 kg 6 x 6 + 0. 5 x 6 = 36 + 3 = 39 kg (approx. ) (38. 16) Menu © Boardworks Ltd 2001
Converting Units 7 inches = Examples 4 cm ? Use. . . 1 inch = 2. 54 cm 2 x 7 + 0. 5 x 7 = 14 + 3. 5 = 17. 5 cm (approx. ) (17. 78) 80 km = miles ? Use. . . 80 divided by 8 =10 11 stone = 8 km = 5 miles 10 x 5 = 50 miles kg ? Use. . . 11 stone = 6. 36 kg 6 x 11 + 0. 5 x 11 = 66 + 5. 5 = 71. 5 kg(approx. ) (69. 96) Menu © Boardworks Ltd 2001
Imperial - Metric Conversions 1 inch = 2. 54 cm 1 foot = 30. 48 cm 1 yard = 0. 9144 m 1 cm = 0. 39 inch 100 cm = 39 inches 1 mile = 1. 6 km 5 miles = 8 km 1 km = 0. 625 mile 8 km = 5 miles 1 lb = 0. 454 kg 1 stone = 6. 36 kg 1 kg = 2. 2 lbs 1 gallon = 4. 54 litres 1 pint = 0. 57 litre 1 litre = 1. 76 pints 10 litres = 2. 2 gallons Some approximate!!! Menu © Boardworks Ltd 2001
Key Conversions 5 miles = 8 kilometres Example 30 miles = ? ? 30 divided by 5 = 6 6 x 8 = 48 km 1 inch = 2. 54 centimetres Example 12 inches = ? ? 2 x 12 + 0. 5 x 12 = 24 + 6 = 30 cm (30. 48 cm) 1 stone = 6. 4 kilograms (approx) Example 8 stone = ? ? 6 x 8 + 0. 5 x 8 = 48 + 4 = 52 kg (51. 2 kg) Menu © Boardworks Ltd 2001
