This is a list of default unit equivalents recognized by the system. Use only units from this table.
You can use the equivalent unit names and symbols that appear in bold.
Important: Be sure to read the instructions in your question carefully. The questions your instructor uses might specify a non-standard, custom table of unit equivalents that would override the default equivalents listed here. If there is no reference to a custom table of equivalent units, then you can assume that these default units are recognized for your question.
