How often do you do conversions like that.
Once in a while, probably because it’s easy, I think if I was using imperial I wouldn’t because it’s impossible without tools.
Edit:
No now that I think about it, I do it all the time in the kitchen, where volume to weight is extremely common when I cook, because often things are measured in volume, but I prefer to use the weight.
½ a liter water or milk or almost any fluid without extra dish-washing? Easy you just put it on the weight, select tara, and pour 500 grams. Voila you just saved both kitchen space and extra work. because 1g = 1ml with water and most fluids.
I guess if you are used to Freedom units, this may sound like science fiction, but this has been reality in many countries for a long time already.
I laughed…
Thank you. Not everybody can see the joke. Most science fiction use metric, even though it is American made, and I’m a huge fan of Science Fiction. 😀
