Strangefox Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hi everybody, Do I need to know by heart how to convert pounds into ounces or yards into inches on GRE? One books says I don't. Another one says I do! So - where does the truth lie?? Please advise! If I need to know them - perhaps there are some more measurements I should look into? I have no problems with the most obvious ones: seconds, minutes, hours, meters, kilometers, grams, liters. But in my country we don't use inches or ounces!! Thanks!

DrFaustus666 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Yes, you do have to do the conversions, but if I remember correctly, they always give you the formula. E.g., the problem will state, usually in parentheses (1 foot = 12 inches), (1 yard = 3 feet = 36 inches), (1 mile = 5280 ft), (1 meter = 39.36 inches), (one inch = 2.54 cm). Not to worry.
