When cooking or performing some other task that requires careful measurements to produce the correct results, you many need to know how to convert the required measurements to fit the tools you have available. For example, if a recipe calls for a certain number of ounces, but you only have a tablespoon, you need to know how to convert the ounce requirement to fit your tablespoon.
