    Haha, if only.

    Distance

    -12 inches = 1 foot

    -3 feet = 1 yard

    -22 yards = 1 chain

    -10 chains = 1 furlong

    -8 furlongs = 1 mile

    Weights

    -16 drams = 1 oz

    -16 oz = 1 pound

    -14 pounds = 1 stone

    -8 stone = 1 hundredweight = 112 lb

    -20 hundredweight = 1 ton

    Volume

    -20 fluid oz = 1 pint

    -8 pints = 1 gallon

      What? They measure in chains and stones 🤨 😂. I actually didn’t know that 🤣🤣🤣. Regarding oz, I thought it was a liquid (volume) measurement unit… cuz I’ve seen it on milk containers… oh well, guess I was wrong 😂.
