    INFORMATION SHEET NO.5
    TABLE OF WEIGHTS, MEASURES
    AND EQUIVALENTS

    Learning Outcomes:
    After reading this Information Sheet, you must be able to:
    1. identify the abbreviations and symbols;
    2. explain the conversion factor; and
    3. convert weights, measures and equivalents.

    Overview:
    Conversion is one of the useful skills in cooking using recipes around
    the world. Most recipes in commercial kitchens express the ingredients by
    weight, while most recipes intended for home cooks express the ingredients by
    volume.

    Conversion of °F to °C
    Problem: How many degrees Celsius should an oven be set if the recipe
    required temperature is 310 °F?

    Solution: °C = (°F -32)/1.8 Solution: °C = (°F -32) * 5/9


    = (310 – 32)/1.8 = (310 – 32) x5 ÷9
    = (278)/1.8 = (278) x5 ÷9
    = 154.44°C = 1390 ÷9
    Conversion of °F to °C = 154.44°C
    Problem: How many degrees Celsius should an oven be set if the recipe
    required temperature is 250 °F?

    Solution:
    °C = (°F -32)/1.8 °C = (°F -32) * 5/9
    = (250 – 32)/1.8 = (250 – 32) 5÷9
    = (218)/1.8 = (218) 5÷9
    = 121.11 °C = 1390÷9
    = 121.11 °C
    Conversion of °C to °F
    Problem:The boiling point of water is 100° Celsius. What is this value on the
    Fahrenheit scale?

    Solution: °F = (1.8 x °C)+32 Solution: °F = (°C * 9/5) +32


    = (1.8 x 100)+32 = (100 x9 ÷5)+32
    = (180) + 32 = (900 ÷5) + 32
    = 212 °F = (180) + 32
    = 212°F

    Conversion of °C to °F
    Problem: The boiling point of water is 180° Celsius. What is this value on the
    Fahrenheit scale?

    Solution:
    °F = (1.8 x °C) + 32 °F= (°C * 9/5) + 32
    = (1.8 x 180) + 32 = (180 x 9÷5) + 32
    = (324) + 32 = (1620÷5) + 32
    = 356 °F = (324) + 32
    = 356 °F

    Solid Measurements Weight Measurements


    1 pinch = 1/8 tsp 1 pound = 16 oz
    (approx)
    1 cup = 16 Tbsp 1 ounce = 28.35 g
    1 Tbsp = 3 tsp 1 pound = 454 g
    1 Tbsp = 15 ml = 15 g 2.2 = 1 kg
    pounds
    1 tsp = 5 ml = 5 g 1 kg = 1000g

    Liquid Measurements Metric Conversion


    0.946 quart = 1 Liter 1 Liter = 1000 ml
    1 pint = 2 cup 1 centiliter = 100 ml
    1 pint = 480 ml 1 deciliter = 10 ml
    1 cup = 240 ml 1 kilogram = 1000 g
    1 = 100 g
    centigram
    1 = 10 g
    decagram
    1 gram = 1 ml

    A. Conversion of Weight Measurements


    Example:
    1. Convert 5.65 kg to g.
    Republic of the Philippines
    MARIKINA POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE
    Sta. Elena, Marikina City

    M2- Food Preparation, Selection, and Handling


    1000g = 1kg
    5.65 kg x 1000grams = 5.65 x 1000grams = 5,650 grams
    1 kg
    2. Convert 80 oz to lb.
    1 lb = 16 oz
    80 oz x 1 lb = 80 lb = 5 lb
    16 oz 16
    3. Convert 60 kg to lb.
    1 kg = 2.2 lb
    60 kg x 2.2 lb = 60 x 2.2 lb = 132 lb
    1 kg

    B. Conversion of Solid measurements


    Example:
    1. Convert 6 cup to Tbsp.
    1 cup = 16 Tbsp
    6 cup x 16 Tbsp = 6 x 16 Tbsp = 96 Tbsp
    1 cup
    2. Convert 10 pinch to tsp.
    1 pinch = 1/8 tsp or 0.125 tsp
    10 pinch x 0.125 tsp = 10 x 0.125 tsp = 1.25 tsp
    1 pinch

    3. Convert 25 g to tsp.
    1 tsp = 5 g
    25 g x 1 tsp = 25 tsp = 5 tsp
    5g 5
    C. Conversion of Liquid Measurements

    1. Convert 3500 ml to L.
    1 L = 1000 ml
    3500 ml x _1 L__ = 3500 L = 3.5 L
    1000 ml 1000

    2. Convert 6 pint to cup


    1 pint = 2 cup
    6 pint x 2 cup = 6 x 2 cup = 12 cup
    1 pint

    3. Convert 4 cup to ml
    1 cup = 240 ml
    4 cup x 240 ml = 4 x 240 ml = 960 ml
    1 cup
