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.
