Cooking from foreign recipes

American recipes use cups, tablespoons, and Fahrenheit. Convert to grams and Celsius to use standard kitchen scales and ovens.

Buying clothes or shoes online

US, UK, and EU sizing systems are all different. Knowing your measurements in centimetres lets you convert to any size chart accurately.

International travel

Speed limits in miles vs kilometres, fuel in gallons vs litres, and weather in Fahrenheit vs Celsius all require quick conversions.

Engineering and construction

Mixing imperial and metric measurements in the same project causes costly errors. Convert everything to one system before building.
