I know that they use the metric system in Italy. What are the equivalents?
• One meter equals 3.3 feet, just a bit longer than one yard, or 39.4 inches. • One kilometer equals 6/10 of one mile. • One hundred kilometers/hour equals 60 miles per hour. • One liter equals just a bit more than one quart. • One kilogram equals 2.2 pounds. • One hectare equals 2.5 acres. • One Fahrenheit degree equals 5/9 of one Centigrade degree. To convert Celsius into Fahrenheit, multiply Centigrade degrees by 9, divide by 5, and add 32.
