Multiplying English Measurement Worksheets

How to Multiply English Units of Measurement? Different units of measurements are used in different parts of the world. In England, the English units of measurements are used. Measurements units such as pounds (lb), ounce (oz), grain (gr), stone (st), gallon (gal), yard (yd), foot (ft), inch (in), and many more. Multiplying values with same units is simple. However, if you want to multiply values that have different units you will have to do some unit conversions. If you have two values one measured in feet and the other measured in inches. You will have to either convert the foot measurement into inch or inches into feet before multiplying. Without doing the conversions you will not be able to multiply to produce an accurate answer.
