- ↑ At this time, only three countries—Burma, Liberia, and the United States— have not adopted the International System of Units (SI, or metric system) as their official system of weights and measures.
- ↑ Dry measurements are mainly used for measuring grain or fresh produce. Do not confuse dry measure for liquid measure as they are not the same.
- ↑ The equation for converting temperatures is as follows: °C to °F: multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32; °F to °C: subtract 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9.
