Conversions, why can’t the whole world use the same measuring systems.
Conversions.
We all have trouble with conversions from pounds to grams to ounces , feet to centimeter’s to yards to metres to miles to kilometre, PSI to Bar or UK shoe sizes to US or EU. Being the most confusing for some I think is decimals to fractions or vice versa.
At times it can very confusing. Imagine you’ve found a gorgeous looking recipe for duck, the ingredient’s required are all shown in metric with no conversion. Purchase a cookery book in another country with just imperial measurements?
So then you have to go online to check or check the conversion on your phone.
So I’ve just put a few on here to help us out a bit. It would be easier if everyone around the globe used the same measuring systems, but imagine the costs to change now.
