Question about some measurement units

by quanghuy147 » Fri Jul 20, 2007 3:37 am
Do we need to learn by heart the conversion between yard,inch,foot,mile,ounce,pound,cup pint

In Cliff Gmat, the Math Review section has some conversion between these units and I find that it's really hard to remmeber
Ex:
12 inches (in) =1 foot (ft)
3 feet =1 yard (yd)
36 inches =1 yard
1,760 yards =1 miles
5,280 feet =1 miles
It's just about length, there are other units about Weight....

Do we need to learn these by heart for Gmat?

Thanks!

From the OG, you do not need to memorize these. The conversion would be provided if the question requires it. The only numbers you need to know are the absolute basic ones like 60 seconds in a minute or 24 hours in a day.
So It Goes
