We also use measurements of volume and weight at home. A recipe may ask for 2 tablespoons of butter. If you have one stick of butter, how much of the stick should you use? A household cleanser may require ½ cup of the cleanser be mixed with 1 gallon of water. If you have only a 2-quart bucket, how much cleanser should you add?

What units of volume and weight are used? objective 1 IDENTIFY THE UNITS USED TO MEASURE VOLUME. words you should know VOLUME measurement of how much space a liquid or dry substance occupies --> NOTE: The U.S. customary system has both dry and liquid units to measure volume. Though these units share the same name, they do not equal the same amount. For example, a dry pint is not the same as a liquid pint, and a dry quart is not the same as a liquid quart. Resource Center for CareerTech Advancement Page 4 Liquid units are often used in cooking to measure both liquid ingredients (such as water or milk) and dry ingredients (such as salt, sugar, fl our, and butter). Dry units are usually used to measure fresh produce (such as a quart of berries or a bushel of apples). General usage does not distinguish between the two by referring to either “dry” or “liquid” measurements. However, you can distinguish between them by the context in which they are used. • ENGLISH UNITS-LIQUID • ENGLISH UNITS-DRY 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon 12 units = 1 dozen 16 tablespoons = 1 cup 2 pints = 1 quart 2 cups = 1 pint 8 quarts = 1 peck 2 pints = 1 quart 4 pecks = 1 bushel 4 quarts = 1 gallon 16 fl uid ounces = 1 pint Did You Know? • METRIC UNITS 1,000 milliliters = 1 liter It takes 24 gallons of water to make one pound of plastic, 101 100 centiliters = 1 liter gallons to make one pound of wool or cotton, 1,851 gallons to 10 deciliters = 1 liter refi ne one barrel of crude oil, and 62,600 gallons to produce 10 liters = 1 dekaliter one ton of steel. 100 liters = 1 hectoliter Source: EPA, Offi ce of Water 1,000 liters = 1 kiloliter objective 2 STATE THE ABBREVIATIONS OF UNITS USED TO MEASURE VOLUME. • ENGLISH UNITS tsp. = teaspoon(s) tbsp. = tablespoon(s) Did You Know? c. = cup(s) Hoover Dam was completed in 1935 using 4.36 pt. = pint(s) million cubic yards of concrete.

  • Grades, Standards
    Grades, Standards 'Tîi.i^' In S,ny exchange of goods the buyer and seller must agree on how much of a com- modity is to be delivered. As soon as trade gets beyond simple barter, it has to depend therefore on weights and measures. Likewise, all trading, except simple barter, in- volves price. Price in practically all markets is a com- mon denominator by which are expressed unlike details of size, amount, weight, and quality of products being traded. Besides weights and measures, therefore, stand- ards for other attributes of goods have been developed. Grading is a basic function in practically all transactions. 142 The purpose is to establish a common language under- stood by buyers and sellers as a basis of judging the quality of a product in relation to its sales price. Grades are useful to all persons who engage in trade. They are also useful in describing the quality of many consumers' retail goods. Controversy over compulsory grade label- ing of consumer goods has waxed strong, however. Much of the argument has been concerned with the system of grading to use. systems of units the old names often Units and remain in-use. In Paris, after loo years of compulsory use of the metric system, hucksters still cry the price of fruit per Standards of livre (pound), just as the Berliner talks of the Pfund, even though the weight of each is actually a half kilogram.

For the units used in England before 1824, see English units. For the system of weight, see Avoirdupois. For United States customary units, see Customary units . Imperial units or the imperial system is a system of units, first defined in the British Weights and Measures Act of 1824, later refined (until 1959) and reduced. The system came into official use across the British Empire. By the late 20th century most nations of the former empire had officially adopted the metric system as their main system of measurement.

Although most of the units are defined in more than one system, some subsidiary units were used to a much greater extent, or for different purposes, in one area rather than the other. The distinctions between these systems are often not drawn precisely.

It actually consists of Dimensions and Units two related systems—the U.S. Customary System of units, used in the United States and dependencies, and the British Imperial System. Units of Weight The pound (lb) is the basic unit of weight (which is proportional to mass) (how?). Within the English units of measurement there are three different systems of weights. In the avoirdupois system, the most widely used of Question: the three, the pound is divided into 16 ounces (oz) and the ounce into 16 drams.

  • The English Measurement System
    THE ENGLISH MEASUREMENT SYSTEM The measurement system commonly used in the United States today is nearly the same as that brought by the colonists from England. These measures had their origins in a variety of cultures –Babylonian, Egyptian, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, and Norman French. The ancient "digit," "palm," "span" and "cubic" units of length slowly lost preference to the length units "inch," "foot," and "yard." Roman contributions include the use of 12 as a base number (the foot is divided into 12 inches) and the words from which we derive many of our present measurement unit names. For example, the 12 divisions of the Roman "pes," or foot were called unciae. Our words "inch" and "ounce" are both derived from that Latin word. The "yard" as a measure of length can be traced back to early Saxon kings. They wore a sash or girdle around the waist that could be removed and used as a convenient measuring device. The word "yard" comes from the Saxon word "gird" meaning the circumference of a person’s waist. Standardizing various units and combining them into loosely related systems of measurement units sometimes occurred in fascinating ways. Tradition holds that King Henry I decreed that a yard should be the distance from the tip of his nose to the end of his outstretched thumb. The length of a furlong (or furrow-long) was established by early Tudor rulers as 220 yards. This led Queen Elizabeth I to declare in the 16th century, that henceforth the traditional Roman mile of 5000 feet would be replaced by one of 5280 feet, making the mile exactly eight furlongs and providing a convenient relationship between the furlong and the mile.

A framework was established to show how Highlanders were deployed by the English between 1745 and 1815 as a way of eradicating radical Jacobite elements from the Scottish Highlands and utilizing their supposed natural superiority in combat.
