To make ones cooking or baking a success, it is very important that one always get their kitchen measurements right before putting those ingredients together. This is especially important if you need to know the conversion from one kitchen unit measurement to the other. Therefore, knowing your Kitchen measurement equivalents can come in very handy. Needless to say, it is very important to double check your measurements for your recipe.

It is important to note that not all tablespoons are equivalent. As such;
The Australian tablespoon is 20 ml.
The British tablespoon is 17.7 ml.
The American tablespoon is actually 14.2 ml.
The Canadian tablespoon is 15 ml .

The tables below give the Kitchen Measurement Equivalents or Kitchen Measurements Conversion in both Fluid Ounces (volume measurement) and Dry Ounces (weight measurement). You can use these liquid or dry measurement in your kitchen recipe measurement should the need ever arise.

Temperature Conversion: Converting between Fahrenheit and Celsius Temperature

The Celsius temperature scale (also known as centigrade scale) is a scale on which the freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius and the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius (at one atmosphere of pressure). Centigrade means "consisting of or divided into 100 degrees" whereby the interval between the freezing and boiling points of water are divided into 100 equal parts. This scale was introduced in 1742 by Celsius (1701-44), a Swedish astronomer and physicist.

Fahrenheit is a temperature scale that was named after the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), who introduced it in 1724. The Fahrenheit scale is one in which the freezing point of water is 32°F and the boiling point of water 212°F.

The formulas and explanation below will help you to quickly make conversions between the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales.

Fahrenheit and Celsius Temperature Scales Conversion

---

To convert a Celsius temperature into degrees Fahrenheit:

First multiply the Celsius temperature reading by nine-fifths then add this number to 32 to get the answer in °F.

In symbol form we have;

F = ((9/5)* °C)+32

Example:
Convert 100 °C into °F

Using the equation, F = ((9/5)* °C)+32
we have;

F = ((9/5)* 100 )+32
F = (180)+32
F = 212

This means that 100 °C (the boiling point of water) is equivalent to 212 °F (the boiling point of water) on the Fahrenheit scale.

---

To convert a Fahrenheit temperature into Celsius:

First subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature then multiply this number by five-ninths to the answer in °C.

In symbol form we have;

°C = (5/9)*(F-32)

Example:

Convert 32 °F into °C

Using the equation, °C = (5/9)*(F-32)
we have;
°C = (5/9)*(32 -32)
°C = (5/9)*(0)
°C = 0

This means that 32 °F (freezing point of water) is equivalent to 0 °C (freezing point of water) on the Celsius scale.

SI prefixes (metric prefixes) are short names and letter symbols that precedes a unit of measure or its symbol. SI prefixes are applied and attached to unit of the International System of Units (SI) which are used to form new subdivisions and multiples (unit symbol) of that unit - prefix symbol attached to the unit symbol. These prefix symbols strictly represent powers of 10 which can be raised to a positive or negative power, as well as, it can also combined with other unit symbols (unit of measure) to form compound unit symbols. They are represented in the general form 10n where n is ranged from anywhere between 24 to -24. As such, prefixes are multiples when n>0 and submultiples when n<0,>

Distance Conversion: Miles and Kilometers
What are Roman Numerals?

Have you ever had to convert kilometers to miles or miles to kilometers? If your answer is yes then, this article is for you. Kilometer or kilometre (symbol: km) is the standard measurement of distance which is the current International System of Unit (SI) for distance. Miles was the traditional unit used to measure distance however with the International System of Unit (SI), distance is now measured in kilometers. This means you will find most countries worldwide using kilometer instead of miles to measure distance. However, not all countries are completely using the kilometre as a standard measurement for distance. One such country is the United States. You will still find some road signs given in miles to indicate distances to cities, towns, airports etc. while on the other hand, you will see some also in kilometers at some areas.

Also, you can always know how fast or slow your car is going by the use of a speedometer. A speedometer is a meter fixed to a vehicle dashboard and is used for indicating the vehicle's rate of travel in miles or kilometers per hour. It continuously measures a vehicle's speed and can displays it either numerically or by means of a needle on a dial. Thus, in other words, this meaures how fast your car is moving per hour in both miles and kilometers. Miles per hour can be written as (m/h) or “mph” and kilometre per hour can be written as (km/h) or “kph”.
