HOW DO YOU CONVERT CUSTOMARY UNITS TO METRIC UNITS AND METRIC UNITS TO CUSTOMARY UNITS? This is really bugging me.

Question

agent0smith · Answer

By using the conversion factors.

mathmale · Answer

By "customary units," you probably mean "English system units of measurement."

Assuming that this is correct, look up a list of conversion identities or conversion factors.  Examples:  12 inches = 1 foot, 3 feet = 1 yard.

Go ahead and try converting 3 inches to feet.  Be sure to keep units of measurement in your work throughout.
