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 U.S. measure, simply multiply the
U.S. quantity by the conversion factor in the center column.
Example:
563 miles = 900 kilometers, approximately
(563 x 1.6093 = 906.04).
