This document defines common units of length, capacity, and weight in both US customary and metric systems. It provides conversion factors between units within each system, such as there being 12 inches in 1 foot or 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup. It also shows the relationships between metric units, such as 1000 millimeters equaling 1 meter or 1000 grams equaling 1 kilogram. Formulas are given for multiplying or dividing between larger and smaller metric units by moving the decimal point.
