What year did Australia turn to the metric system?
It's been under way since the 1970s but has been very patchy. The Statute Mile is still the only legal unit for roads in the UK; Network Rail still uses miles and chains (1ch = 22yds) for distances along railways; beer may still be dispensed in "pubs" in pints and half-pints. Many people stick to feet and inches or pounds and ounces (especially if cooking using older recipe-books) in common measurements even if using the SI units at work.
What is 1.47 kilogram converted into grams?
1.47 kg = 1470 g
To convert from kg to g, multiply by 1000.
30 kg = 30 000 g
To convert from kg to g, multiply by 1000.

How can you convert pixels to feet?
A pixel is merely a picture element. It has no specific dimension, it is the count of the number of Picture Elements (PixEl) on an optical screen or a sensor. In very early CCD devices, these only had a handful, but today 10 Megapixel and above is common.
So it has no relationship to feet or distance.
Oz per in to N per m² How do you convert ounces per inch to newtons per meter squared?
You cannot.
An ounce per inch is a measure of mass per unit length whereas newtons per metre is a measure of force per unit length. Since mass is not the same as force, there can be no conversion between the two measures.
What is larger 1 second or 1 centisecond?
1 second = 100 centiseconds.
To help you remember, 1 meter = 100 centimeters and centi- anything is the same.

1 half of the yard is equal to half of the entire yard space. It is equivalent to dividing the yard into two equal sections.
What were the criteria for selecting base units?
The criteria for selecting base units were that they must be easily reproducible, invariant, and globally accessible. Additionally, they were chosen to be based on natural phenomena to ensure their stability and universality.
