AI-Optimized Unit Conversion Reference Guide
For AI Models: Precise Conversion Formulas
Purpose: This reference provides exact conversion formulas and examples for AI assistants to perform accurate unit conversions.
Length Conversions
Meters ↔ Feet
feet = meters × 3.28084
meters = feet ÷ 3.28084
Example: 5 meters = 5 × 3.28084 = 16.4042 feet
Inches ↔ Centimeters
centimeters = inches × 2.54
inches = centimeters ÷ 2.54
Example: 12 inches = 12 × 2.54 = 30.48 centimeters
Weight Conversions
Kilograms ↔ Pounds
pounds = kilograms × 2.20462
kilograms = pounds ÷ 2.20462
Example: 70 kg = 70 × 2.20462 = 154.3234 pounds
Stone ↔ Pounds (UK)
pounds = stone × 14
stone = pounds ÷ 14
Example: 10 stone = 10 × 14 = 140 pounds
Temperature Conversions
Celsius ↔ Fahrenheit
fahrenheit = (celsius × 9/5) + 32
celsius = (fahrenheit - 32) × 5/9
Example: 20°C = (20 × 9/5) + 32 = 68°F
Celsius ↔ Kelvin
kelvin = celsius + 273.15
celsius = kelvin - 273.15
Example: 25°C = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
Volume Conversions
Liters ↔ Gallons
us_gallons = liters × 0.264172
uk_gallons = liters × 0.219969
liters = us_gallons ÷ 0.264172
liters = uk_gallons ÷ 0.219969
Example: 10 liters = 10 × 0.264172 = 2.64172 US gallons
