Exact definitions and rounded answers

Many everyday conversions are exact by definition. Since 1959 an inch is exactly 2.54 centimetres and a pound exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, so cm to inches and kg to lbs are fixed ratios rather than measurements. Each converter shows the factor it uses, a table of common values, and the multiplication worked out, so any result can be checked by hand.

A long decimal result is the arithmetic, not a claim about your measurement. Round the answer to the precision of what you measured: a height known to the nearest centimetre does not become more exact in inches.

US and imperial units are not the same

A US gallon is 3.785 litres; an imperial gallon, still used for fuel in the UK, is 4.546. A US fluid ounce is 29.57 millilitres against 28.41 for the imperial one, and a US cup of 236.6 millilitres is smaller than the 250-millilitre metric cup in many recipes. The gallons to liters, fl oz to ml, and cups to ml converters use the US units and say so.

Conversions that are not a single multiplication

Temperature scales have different zero points, so Celsius to Fahrenheit multiplies and then adds 32. A temperature change converts differently from a temperature: a rise of 10 °C is a rise of 18 °F, not 50.

Fuel economy runs in opposite directions: miles per gallon counts distance per fuel, litres per 100 km counts fuel per distance. That is why going from 10 to 20 mpg saves more fuel than going from 30 to 60 — mpg to L/100 km makes it visible.

Bits, bytes, and file sizes

Internet speeds are quoted in bits per second, file sizes in bytes, and a byte is eight bits — so a 100 Mbps connection downloads at most 12.5 megabytes per second (Mbps to MB/s). Storage adds another split: a megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes, while a mebibyte (MiB), which many operating systems label MB, is 1,048,576. The file size converter shows both.
