I noticed there are some unit conversion in QR dat achiever.
I was just wondering if I have to memorize conversion such as gallon to tonn?
Please let me know. Thanks.
 
Not sure about gallon to ton. I mean I can't think of it off the top of my head with doing multiple conversions.

You should however know common ones. I should be clear, common US ones. other conversions you shoudl already know for chem.

so like 3 feet in 1 yard.

1 inch = 2.54 cm

5280 ft in 1 mile.

1lb = 16 ounces

1kg = 2.2 lbs

1 ton = 2000 lbs

1 meter = 40 inches. its 39.xx but 40 works.

1 cup = 8 fluid ounces = 1/2 pint = 1/4 quart = 1/16 gallon

F = 9/5C + 32

Maybe not the fluid one. I know that from baking things all the time.

are those the main ones to know? or are there more (common) ones that we should know?
 
I just listed common US ones and then some that I remember or at least think I remember being asked from math destroyer. If you're not american I can understand.

But I believe I listed most of the common ones except the following.

12 inches = 1 foot.

and 1760 yards = 1 mile

If I miss something someone should add it. they are just something I know. Math destroyer, dat destroyer, and even kaplan doesn't bother listing them out. they kinda assume people would just know it.

1lb is not 2.2kg
