Formulas & Methodology
Most conversions use fixed numerical ratios, while temperature conversions require mathematical formulas. Below are the key formulas used:
- Length: 1 inch = 2.54 cm, 1 meter = 3.28084 feet, etc.
- Weight: 1 kg = 2.20462 pounds, 1 gram = 0.035274 oz, etc.
- Volume: 1 liter = 33.814 oz, 1 cup = 0.2366 liters, etc.
- Temperature:
°C to °F: (°C × 9/5) + 32 °F to °C: (°F − 32) × 5/9 °C to K: °C + 273.15 K to °C: K − 273.15
Example
Suppose you're baking a recipe that uses U.S. units, but you only have metric tools. You need to convert 2 cups of flour to liters:
2 cups × 0.2366 = 0.4732 liters
Or imagine you're in Europe and your car's fuel efficiency is listed in km/L, but you're used to mpg. This converter helps you bridge that gap instantly.
