📏 Length / Distance

 1 km = 1000 m
 1 m = 100 cm = 1000 mm
 1 inch = 2.54 cm
 1 foot = 12 inches = 30.48 cm = 0.3048 m
 1 yard = 3 feet = 0.9144 m
 1 mile = 1.609 km

📐 Area
 1 m² = 10,000 cm²
 1 hectare (ha) = 10,000 m² = 2.47 acres
 1 acre ≈ 4047 m²

📦 Volume
 1 m³ = 1000 liters (L)
 1 liter = 1000 cm³ = 1000 mL = 1 dm³
 1 cm³ = 1 mL
 1 gallon (US) ≈ 3.785 L
 1 gallon (UK) ≈ 4.546 L

⚖️ Mass / Weight
 1 kg = 1000 g
 1 g = 1000 mg
 1 tonne (metric ton) = 1000 kg
 1 pound (lb) = 0.4536 kg
 1 ounce (oz) = 28.35 g

️ Time
 1 hr = 60 min = 3600 sec
 1 day = 24 hr
 1 year = 365 days (or 366 in leap year)

⚡ Energy / Power (only if science-heavy exams)


 1 kWh = 1000 watt-hours = 3.6 × 10⁶ joules
 1 horsepower (hp) ≈ 746 watts

✅ Most Exam-Focused Tips:


 Always memorize 1 m³ = 1000 liters (very frequently tested).
 Know cm³ ↔ mL, because examiners often give dimensions in cm but ask answers in liters.
 Don’t forget 1 acre ≈ 4047 m², and 1 hectare = 2.47 acres (common in geography/land questions).
 In physics-type MCQs, keep 1 km/h = 5/18 m/s conversion at your fingertips.

Common questions

Powered by AI

To convert kilowatt-hours to joules, multiply the number of kilowatt-hours by 3.6 × 10⁶ joules because 1 kWh = 1000 watt-hours and 1 watt-hour = 3600 joules [1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ joules].

1 yard is equivalent to 0.9144 meters as 1 yard = 3 feet and 1 foot = 0.3048 meters, resulting in 3 x 0.3048 = 0.9144 meters .

Multiply the number of UK gallons by 4.546 to convert to liters: 4 gallons x 4.546 L/gallon = 18.184 liters .

80940 m² is calculated as 80940 / 10000 = 8.094 hectares. To convert hectares to acres, multiply by 2.47: 8.094 x 2.47 = 19.989 acres .

1 km/h equals 5/18 m/s because to convert km/h to m/s, multiply by 1000 to convert km to meters, and divide by 3600 to convert hours to seconds, yielding the factor 5/18 .

The field's length in kilometers is calculated as 3 miles x 1.609 km/mile = 4.827 kilometers .

5 hectares is equivalent to 5 x 2.47 acres = 12.35 acres .

The volume in cm³ is found by multiplying: 30 cm x 20 cm x 10 cm = 6000 cm³. Since 1 liter = 1000 cm³, the volume is 6000 cm³ / 1000 = 6 liters .

5000 pounds is converted to kilograms using the conversion: 5000 lb x 0.4536 kg/lb = 2268 kg .

200 inches is converted to meters by first converting inches to centimeters and then centimeters to meters: 200 inches = 200 x 2.54 cm = 508 cm. Then, 508 cm = 5.08 meters .
