Exact definitions
Since 1959 the pound has been defined as exactly 0.45359237 kg and the inch as exactly 2.54 cm. China’s market units were fixed to the metric system the same year: 1 斤 = 500 g, 1 两 = 50 g, 1 公斤 = 2 斤. US doctors’ offices and driver’s licenses record weight in pounds and height in feet and inches.
FAQ
How many 斤 is a pound?
1 lb = 0.4536 kg = 0.907 斤, because 1 斤 is exactly 500 g. Quick rule: pounds × 0.9 ≈ 斤, so 150 lb ≈ 136 斤 (68 kg). The other way, 斤 × 1.1 ≈ lb.
How tall is 5 foot 10 in cm?
5′10″ = 70 inches × 2.54 = 177.8 cm. Each foot is 30.48 cm and each inch 2.54 cm. 6′0″ = 182.9 cm, 5′6″ = 167.6 cm, 5′4″ = 162.6 cm.
Why do Chinese people say “feet” for height differently?
A US foot (英尺) is 30.48 cm, while the Chinese market 尺 (市尺) is 33.3 cm (1/3 m). When someone in the US says “5 foot 8”, that is 5 英尺 8 英寸 = 172.7 cm, not 5 市尺.
