How to Convert Units: Length, Weight & Temperature

Unit conversion is a daily need for students, cooks, travelers and engineers.

The principle

Every conversion multiplies by a fixed factor. 1 meter = 3.28084 feet, 1 kg = 2.20462 lb.

Temperature

°F = °C × 9/5 + 32; °C = (°F – 32) × 5/9.

Tips

Common conversions

meter–foot, kg–pound, celsius–fahrenheit, km–mile are the most searched.
