How do you convert pounds to miles?

What SI units would you use to find the volume of a shoe box?

The units will never help you make the measurement. You must first measure and/orcalculate the quantity mechanically, using things like a ruler, a laser rangefinder, acalibrated measuring cup etc., and any old unit. Then, once you have the measurement,it's time to decide what units will express it in the most convenient numbers.For a shoebox, the most convenient unit for the linear dimensions is probably thecentimeter, and for the volume, either the cubic centimeter or else the liter.
