When cooking you may need to convert grams into fluid ounces.
For example, if you are cooking and the recipe calls for ten grams
but you only have a measuring cup that is in fluid ounces. When you
are weighing something and the scale reads in kilograms, but you're
answer has to be in pounds. Sometimes this is done in doctors
offices. When you travel, you may need to convert how far you are
going from one unit to another. If your unit of measurement is in
miles and markers are in kilometers, this would be very useful. 1.

Fluid ounces are abbreviated fl. oz. and milliliters are
abbreviated ml To find fluid ounces 1 fl. oz. = 29.5735 ml 29.5735n
= number of ml. 5 fl. oz. is 29.5735x 5 = 147.8676 ml To find
milliliters 1 ml is.0338 fl. oz. .0338n = number of fl. oz. 5 ml
is.0338 x 5 =.169 fl. oz. 1. Rounded to the nearest ten thousandths

Slide 7
Pounds are abbreviated lbs. and kilograms are abbreviated kg To
find pounds 1 lb. =.4536 kg .4536n = number of kg 5 lbs. is.4536 x
5 = 2.268 kg To find kilograms 1 kg is 2.2046 lb. 2.2046n = number
of lb. 5 kg is 2.2046 x 5 = 11.023 lbs. 1. Rounded to the nearest
ten thousandths place
Slide 8
Miles are abbreviated mi and kilometers are abbreviated km To
find miles 1 mi = 1.6093 km 1.6093n = number of km 5 mi is 1.6093 x
5 = 8.0465 km To find kilometers 1 km is.6214 mi .6214n= number of
miles 5 km is.6214 x 5 = 3.107 miles 1. Rounded to the nearest ten

1. 2 x 29.5735 =59.15 ml 2. 10 x 2.2046 =22.06 1bs. 3. 80 x
1.6093 = 128.744 km 4. 64 x 29.5735 = 1828.704 1.Then subtract 64.
2.1828.704 64 = 1764.704 ml 5. 5 x.4536 = 2.268 kg 1. Rounded to
