Measurements are ways that we tell others how much of an item we have. There are two systems of measuring things—English and Metric. English measurements are used  in the United States and UK, while metric measurements are used in nearly every other country. Measurements are used to give number values to distance (length, width, and height), weight, time, volume (liquid measurements), and temperature.         Common English Measures Distance Inches (in) 12 in = 1 ft Feet (ft) 3 ft = 1 yd Yards (yd) 1760 yd = 1 mi Miles (mi) 1 mi = 5280 ft Weight Ounces (oz) 16 oz = 1 lb Pounds (lb) 2000 lb = 1 t Tons (t) 1 t
