This document provides conversion factors and example problems for converting between different units of measurement for length, volume, and temperature. It includes conversions between gallons/quarts, miles/feet, meters/centimeters/nanometers/micrometers, degrees Celsius/Kelvin, and milliliters/cubic centimeters. Students are advised that metric conversions will not be provided on exams and are expected to know temperature conversions between degrees Celsius and Kelvin. Several multi-part problems walk through conversions between various units.
