To calculate the approximate U.S. measure equivalent to a known metric measure, simply multiply the metric quantity by the conversion factor in the center column.
Example: 38 kilograms = 84 pounds, approximately (38 x 2.2046 = 83.78)
To calculate the approximate metric measure equivalent to a known U.S. quantity by the conversion factor in the center colum.
Example: 563 miles= 900 kilometers, approximately (563 x 1.6093 = 906.04)
