Lesson Summary

Natural gas from western Canada flows through pipelines to markets across North America. Consumers are billed based on the amount of gas they use. If your home uses natural gas for heating, ask to see last month’s bill to find out how much natural gas your home used. The volume of natural gas you consumed was most likely quoted in thousands of cubic feet and then converted to an energy equivalent. The cubic foot is a measure of volume in the imperial system.
In this lesson you explored the following lesson questions:
- How are volumes and capacity commonly measured in the imperial system?
- What is the history of volume and capacity units in the imperial system?
- How are volume and capacity units in the imperial system related?
- How are volume and capacity units in the imperial system applied in practical situations?
