My 2 cents to some of the really good comments already mentioned.
1kg is 2 US lbs +10%.
Learn what 10cm is, use that as base for small stuff
Learn a stride that’s 1m.
1m is approx 3ft
Get a good scale in grams
Celcius is linear, Fahrenheit is not. Hence 0 freezing, 100 boiling, 50 is exactly half that amount of energy.
Now if you’re into engineering I’d recommend you grab yourself a caliper and measure some of the common products you can buy. You’ll notice that anything in 16th, 32th or even 64th is a most likely an approximation to a perfect size in mm.
It’s important to realize that the US is the only real producing country in the world using US customary. Relatively speaking there’s very little actual manufacturing being done in true US customary.
