Preface

This story is set in 2095. As such, everything is metric. Below is a conversion table. At the very bottom of the conversion table is a table of VERY rough (read inaccurate but close enough for a hand grenade) conversions for some of the most-often used measurements.

Distance

1 kilometer (km) = .62 miles = 1 klick (military jargon for km)
1 meter (m) = 39.37 inches
1 centimeter (cm) = .3937 inches
1 mile = 1.6 km
1 foot = 30.48 cm or .3048 m
1 inch = 2.54 cm
17 mm= .669 caliber or inch
15 mm= .59 caliber or inch
13 mm= .51 caliber or inch
11 mm= .43 caliber or inch
10 mm= .3937 caliber or inch

Weight

1 kilogram (kg) = 2.205 lb.
1 tonne = 1.102 tons = 2205 lb.
1 lb. = .4536 kg
1 ton = 907.2 kg = .9072 tonne
----

Volume

1 liter = 1.057 quart
1 quart = .9461 liters
1 gallon = 3.785 liter

Area

1 hectare = 2.471 acres
1 km square = 100 hectares = .3861 square mi = 247.1 acres
1 m square = 1.196 square yards = 10.76 square feet
1 acre = .4047 hectare
----

Speed

1 kph (kilometer per hour) = .6214 mph = .54 knot
1 knot = 1.152 mph = 1.852 kph
1 mph = 1.609 kph = .869 knot
----

8-minute mile = 5-minute km
7.5-minute mile = 4:40 km
7-minute mile = 4:21 km
----

Temperature

0°C = 32°F
5°C = 41°F
10°C = 50°F
15°C = 59°F
20°C = 68°F
25°C = 77°F
30°C = 86°F
----

VERY rough (inaccurate, but approximate) conversions

1 km = 1/2 mile
1 meter = 1 yard
1 cm = 1/3 of an inch
1 kg = 2 lb.
1 tonne = 1 ton
1 liter = 1 quart
1 gallon = 4 liters
1 hectare = 2.5 acres
1 kph = 1/2 mph
1 knot = 1 mph
For every 1°C at or above 0°C add 2 to 32
For every 1°C below 0°C subtract 2 from 32
