Weights and measurements are used daily in our lives.  The United States Customary System uses the following units of measure for length, weight, and capacity.  The abbreviation for each unit is in parentheses.

 

U.S. Customary System

inch (in) ounce (oz) cup (c)
foot (ft) pound (lb) pint (pt)
yard (yd) ton (t) quart (qt)

12 in = 1 ft   16 oz = 1 lb   2 c = 1 pt
3 ft = 1 yd 2000 lb = 1 t 2 pt = 1 qt
    4 qt = 1 gal
