Hi All,
I wonder if someone out there could do me (and I am sure others) a BIG
favor.  I never learned the metric system well enough to be able to relate
to it the way I do pounds, ounces and fahrenheit degrees.  When someone
tells me a baby weighed in at over 4000 grms, I say "And that is how much?"
Does someone have a formula that I can use to help me learn the difference
between the two systems?  I know that 15 cc's is apporx 1/2 oz, and can do
the math there but when we get into 1000's and such I am LOST!
TIA!
Jay
