When cooking you may need to convert grams into fluid ounces. For example, if you are cooking and the recipe calls for ten grams but you only have a measuring cup that is in fluid ounces. When you are weighing something and the scale reads in kilograms, but you're answer has to be in pounds. Sometimes this is done in doctors offices. When you travel, you may need to convert how far you are going from one unit to another. If your unit of measurement is in miles and markers are in kilometers, this would be very useful. 1.
