 Knowing how to convert measurements is an important skill to have in the
kitchen. Additionally, if you're using a family recipe or one from the internet,
you'll have to scale it up for use in a commercial environment. Cooking
conversions are also especially useful in bakeries, where the ratio of
ingredients needs to be exact to get the desired effect.

 Measurement provides a standard for every day things and processes. From

weight, temperature, length even time is a measurement and it does play a
very important role in our lives.
