Metric –U.S. Customary Comparisons Chapter 3 Section 4 Metric –U.S. Customary Comparisons

U.S. Customary and Metric Conversion Factors 1 meter = 39.37 inches 1 meter = 3.2808 feet 1 meter = 1.0936 yards 1 centimeter = 0.3937 inch 1 millimeter = 0.03937 inch 1 kilometer = 0.6214 miles

U.S. Customary and Metric Conversion Factors WEIGHT: 1 gram = 0.0353 ounce 1 kilogram = 2.2046 pounds LIQUID CAPACITY: 1 liter = 1.0567 quarts

Body Mass Index (BMI) Standard unit for measuring a person’s degree of obesity or emaciation According to federal guidelines, a BMI greater than 25 means that you are overweight Survey shows 59% of men and 49% of women have BMIs greater than 25 Extreme obesity is BMI greater than 40

Conversion practice: (1-39) 120 m to yards 6 L to quarts 7 inches to centimeters 7.3 meters to feet 45 pounds to kilograms

How to Calculate BMI Multiply your weight in lbs. by 0.4536 to convert to kilograms Convert your height to inches Multiply the inches by 0.0254 to get meters Square the number found in step 3 Divide your weight in kilograms by the result from step 4 Round to the nearest whole number
