The document discusses converting between metric and imperial units of measurement. It notes that the metric system provides a universal language for measurement that can be understood globally. While the UK and US still use some imperial units, converting between the two systems is easy through following three steps: 1) identify the type of measurement, 2) use a conversion table, and 3) use unity fractions. Conversion tables are provided to assist with conversions between common metric and imperial units.

Imperial and Metric Systems

2. *Why learning conversions?
The metric system provides a
universal language for measurement
that can be understood regardless of
where you are from or what language
you speak.

3. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE UK?
The United Kingdom , as well as the United
States of America have not completely embraced
the metric system, and so many items are still
measured in what we can call “English” “Imperial
units”.

6. Converting between Metric and English
units is, in fact, easily done. Before
you learn how, you first need to learn
the symbols used in both the metric
and English systems for properties
such as mass, length, volume, and
temperature.

11. THREE STEPS for conversion:
1. Identify the type of measurement:
Mass? Length?
Volume? Temperature?
2. Use Conversion Table.
3. Use Unity Fraction(s).
