Here are Some Common Calculator Conversions Science Students Can Benefit From

In science and math courses, you’ll often need to convert units from one measurement system to another. For example, if you are working on a chemistry problem, you might be given the density of an element in grams per milliliter rather than mg/mL. This makes it necessary to convert from one unit to another to proceed with your calculation.

Performance in science classes can often hinge on whether or not the student knows how to use their calculator properly and efficiently. 

Here are some useful calculator conversions, including ounces to liters, that will help get you through science class.‍

Ounces To Liters And Other Common Calculator Conversations

Ounces to Liters

The easiest way to convert ounces to liters is with the following formula:

1 Ounces (oz) =  0.02957 l

So now that we know how much an ounce is in a liter and its conversion rate let’s see some examples of how this works in real life!

For example, if you wanted to convert 2 ozs into liters, multiply 2 by 0.02957 l, and you’ll get 2 L x0.02957 l = 0.05957 L

Feet To Meters

When converting from feet to meters, you can use the following equation:

1 foot = 0.3048 meters

1 meter = 3.28 feet

If you need an even simpler conversion, though—one that gives you the answer in one step—then this formula will do it for you:

1 yard = 0.9144 meters

Kilogram to MetricTonne

 The kilogram to metric tonne conversion is a simple way to measure the weight of an object. The first unit of measurement is the gram and the second unit is the kilogram, which equals 1000 grams.

One metric tonne = 1,000 kilograms

To convert Kilogram to Metric Ton, you have to do the following:

First divide 1 / 1000 = 0.001

So 50kg =50*0.001=0.05 metric ton

Grams To Milligrams

1 gram is equal to a thousandth of a kilogram. A milligram (mg) is equal to one-thousandth of a gram.

1 g = 1000 mg

1 mg = 0.001 g

Example: convert 25 g to mg:

 25 g = 25 × 1000 mg = 25000 mg

Celsius to Fahrenheit

Celsius and Fahrenheit are two of the most commonly used temperature measurement units. To convert Celsius into Fahrenheit, you need to know how many degrees Celsius equals one degree Fahrenheit. The formula is: 

0 °C = 32 °F

To convert a temperature in degrees Celsius to a temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, multiply by 9/5 and add 32

F = 5/9*C + 32

For example, if you want to convert 60°C into degrees Fahrenheit, you would use this formula: 

F = 5/9 * 60 + 32 =140.0

km/h to mph

The metric unit of kilometers per hour and miles per hour are speed measures. To convert kilometers per hour (km/h) to miles per hour (mp/h), multiply the kilometers by 0.6213. 

1 km/h = 0.621452 mph

mph = km/h ÷ 1.609344

Example 

1500km\h to mph

=1500÷1.609344=932.056 mph

Final Thoughts

It’s important to be precise when calculating measurements or performing experiments. If you follow these tips, you’ll be able to convert between units with ease.
