Hi phynessa33,
Unit conversion is certainly something that you will have to deal with in the Quant section of the GMAT (and sometimes in IR section). You are expected to know certain 'standard' units, such as days --> hours --> minutes --> seconds and dollars --> cents ($1.00 = 100 cents). In certain prompts, information on specific types of measure are included in the question (for example 1 mile = 5,280 feet or 1 meter = 100 centimeters is information that many people don't necessarily know, so a question that REQUIRES that type of conversion will often include the needed equation).
If you wanted to familiarize yourself with some additional measurements, then you might find it useful to know:
1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
1 kilometer = 1000 meters
1 meter = 100 centimeters = 1000 millimeters
