Here’s a song I learned to help me remember the total number of days in each month. I learned this when I was a kid. And still use this to this day.
Thirty days has September, April, June, and November. All the rest, has thirty one, except February alone. It has 28 days in each year and 29 on each leap year.
Here’s another one I learned in high school from my Chemistry teacher.
Subtract 32 from degrees Fahrenheit, the result keep in your mind. Why? Because if you multiply it by 5 over 9, you’ll get Celsius just fine.
I Googled the first few words and found a blog post about it. And wow, it appears to be just a part of one bigger piece. Here’s the entire piece:
It’s easy to change from English to metric.
The system is fun if you know it.
So, let’s all convert from English to metric.
We’ll do it, and share it and show it!Just multiply inches by 2.54 and there you’ll get centimeters.
The feet multiplied by 0.305 will you equivalent meters.
Multiply pounds by 0.45 will give you kilograms it’s true.
The gallons times 3.79 will turn into liters for you.
Subtract 32 from degrees Farenheit, the result keep it in mind.
Why, when you multiply that by 5 over 9, you’ll get Celcius just fine.The yards and the miles are things of the past. Use meters and go kilometers.
So out with the English. We’re modern at last. The system of metric is better!
And here’s a link to the blog post where I found it:
