  1. Weight: Avoirdupois weight= pounds (lb)

1kg = 2.20 lb

1 lb = 1/ 2.20 kg = 0.454 kg = 454 g


  1. Volume: 1 L = 1.06 qt; 1 gallon = 4 qt… 1L > 1 qt

4L > 1 gal


1 ml = 1 cm3 = 1 cc

weight of 1 ml H20 = 1g (at body temp)

density of H20 + 1g/ ml ½ qt = 1 pint = 1 lb


1 L = 1000g = 1 kg ½ L H20 = ½ kg
