    You may need to make your own list. Find all of the conversions you need and put them together on one list.

    Who is "she"?

    Probably her instructor.

    A few I remember off the top of my head:

    20C = 70F

    37C = 98.6F

    1 pound = 0.5Kg (approx)

    100 pounds = 45.5Kg (approx)

    200 pounds = 90.7Kg (approx)

    I remember it as "a little less than half".

    1 inch = 2.5cm

    4 inches = 10cm (approx)

    1 mile = 1.6km

    5k = 3.1 miles

    10k = 6.2 miles

    15k = 9.3 miles

    marathon = 26.2 miles
