Some Metric and Other Conversions


Wishing I had a "table" handy which could be used to know what to enter in a pocket calculator, (or one on the computer), so as to multiply a certain number of miles by something to come up with kilometers, or wondering how to figure how many kilograms in a ten pound bag of whatever, I developed the following table which will allow me to figure these things out quickly.
