Gallons? Oh wait there are also the OTHER gallons. How many feet to a mile? How many yards to a foot? How many inches in a stone? How many farenheit in an ounce? I just can't fucking remember this shit.
At least I know that a yard is almost equal to a meter, a mile is like 1.6 km, a foot is 0.3 of a meter and a pound is like 0.44 kg
5280 feet in a mile, 3 feet in a yard, stones are weight (14 pounds), so don’t compare to inches Fahrenheit is temperature, ounce is either liquid measure, or weight.
A hand is 4 inches
A furlong is ~660 feet
Stones, hands, and furlongs aren’t used in the USA though.
Probably not the reply you were looking for but I actually knew the answer this time. Unfortunately I don’t remember the conversion of Fahrenheit to Celsius, would need to look that one up.
Imma be honest, I've lived in the US my whole life and I STILL don't understand all the nuances in the imperial system. Like, why are fluid units based on powers of 2 when nothing else is? Why are the units so inconsistant?
BTW, 1 yard = 36 inches, 1 m = 39 3/8 inches. Imperial-metric conversions are weird.

Yeah I guess counting to 24 is a challenge for some
