TIME

Most foreign countries base all scheduling of activities and transportation on the 24 hour clock.
Thus, the morning hours are the same as ours, but from 01:00 p.M. To midnight, the hours are stated as 13:00 hours to 24:00 hours.

WEIGHT & PRESSURE

1 pound = 0.4536 kilograms

1pound per square inch = 0.0703 kilograms per square centimeter.

To convert kilograms into pounds, double the kilograms figure and add 10 % of the total. If a mans weight is shown as 90 kilos on a scale, he would double his weight as approximately 198 pounds.

Air pressure in automobile tires is computed differently: a tire requiring 24 pounds of pressure would carry 1.7 kilos; requiring 26 pounds of pressure would carry 1.8 kilos; requiring 30 pounds of pressure would carry 2 kilos.

Capacity 1 gallon = 3.79 liters
1 Liter 0.26 Gallon
2 Liter 0.53 Gallon
3 Liter 0.79 Gallon
4 Liter 1.06 Gallon
5 Liter 1.32 Gallon
10 Liter 2.64 Gallon

Note:

A Kilometer is approximately 5/8 or 0.6 of a mile. Thus to convert Kilometers to miles multiply by 0.6 ie.
50 kilo = 30miles
