Let us determine how much you already know about carrying out measurement
and calculations. Take this test.
Pretest LO 2
Directions: Enumerate the following
1-2 – What are the 2 systems of measurements?
3-5 - Give at least 3 units of linear measurements in the English system.
6-9 – Give at least 3 units of linear measurements in the Metric System.
CARPENTRY 49
SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENTS
The two (2) systems of measurements are: the English and the Metric System. The
English system originated in England also known as the U.S. customary system of
measurement while the Metric System was developed in France and also known as the S. I.
(International Standard).
I. (UNIT OF MEASURES) - LINEAR MEASUREMENT
ENGLISH METRIC
Yard ( yd ) meter
Foot ( ft ) / („ ) decimeter 1/10 meter
Inch (in. ) / (“ ) centimeter 1/ 100 meter
millimeter 1 /1000 meter
II. READING OF MEASUREMENTS
A. Reading the inch
The inch is divided into segments called graduations. Each graduation represents a
measurement in form of a proper fraction. The inch can be divided into 16, 8, 4 and 2, equal
parts.
Note: The illustration is not the actual lengh of an inch.
CARPENTRY 50
B. Reading the centimeter and milimeter
III. CONVERTING FRACTION TO DECIMAL
In converting fractions to decimals, divide the numerator by its denominator whether

it is proper, improper or mixed fraction.
Sample Solutions:
A. Proper fraction 2/5 = 0.4
B. Improper fraction 11/3 = 3.66
C. Mixed fraction 2 ½ = 2.5
CARPENTRY 51
IV. CONVERTING UNITS OF MEASURE
GUIDE TABLE IN UNIT CONVERSION
English to English 1foot = 12 inches
Metric to Metric 1 meter = 10 decimeter

1 dm = 10 centimeter
English to Metric 1 inch = 2.54 cm

1 inch = 25.4 mm
1 foot = 30.48 cm
Metric to English 1 meter = 3.28 feet

1 meter = 39.37 inches
Sample Solutions in Conversion
A. Foot to inches
3 ft = _________ inches
Solution: Multiply 3ft by 12 inches / ft = 36 inches
B. Inch to feet
48 inches = ________ Feet
Solution: Divide 48 inches by 12 inches / feet = 4feet
C. Centimeter to millimeter
22 cm = ________ millimeters
Solution: Multiply 22 cm by 10 mm / cm = 220mm
D. Inch to centimeter
6 inches = _______ centimeter
Solution: Multiply 6 inches by 2.54 cm / inch = 15.24 cm
CARPENTRY 52
V. TAKING DIMENSIONS
Ways of taking dimension
1 Measure end to end of

stock with a tool
2 Measure edge to edge with

a tool
3 Measure outside diameter

of a cylindrical object using
a caliper
CARPENTRY 53
4 Measure inside diameter
with a caliper
5 Lay-out width
CALCULATING BOARDFOOT OF LUMBER
Although the International System (SI) or Metric System had already superseded the
English System of measure, the board foot as a unit of measure for determining the volume
of lumber is still being used by the furniture & cabinet maker and construction industry. This
is because lumbers are sold in terms of board foot.
A board foot is actually one square foot of lumber of one inch thick
CARPENTRY 54
The formula used in computing board foot is:
Board foot (Bd. Ft.) = T x W x L
12
Where:
T = Thickness in inches
W= Width in inches
L = Length in feet
Note: This formula is being used for sawed wood of commercial dimension.
Example: Compute the board foot of lumber whose dimension is 2” x 4 “x 12”
Steps 1. Identify the given data
Given. T = 2”
W = 4”
L = 12‟
Step 2. Determine what is being asked
Find the Bd. Ft. = ?
Step 3. State the formula
Formula: Bd. Ft. = T x W x L
12
Step 4. Substitute the given data in the formula, then solve.
Solution:
Bd. Ft. = T x W x L
12
= 2” x 4” x 12 “
12
= 96/12
= 8 Bd. Ft.
CARPENTRY 55
Self-Check 2.1
I. Enumerate the following.

1-2 – What are the two 2 systems of measurements
3-5 - Give at least 3 units of linear measurements in the English system
6-9 – Give at least 3 units of linear measurements in the Metric System

2. ___________
3. ___________
4. ___________
5. ___________

2. 3/4
3. 5/8
4. 7/8
5. 9/16
6. 11/5
7. 13/4
8. 9/5
9. 6 3/5
10. 3 2/3
CARPENTRY 56

.
1. 4 meters = ____________ cm.
2. 4 meters = ____________ ft.
3. 8 feet = _______________ inches
4. 20 inches = __________ cm
5. 236.22 inches = _______meters
V. Identify the different ways of taking dimensions.
CARPENTRY 57
