Inches (in) x 25 = Millimeters.
Feet (ft) x 30 = Centimeters.
Yards (yd) x 0.9 = Meters.
Miles (mi) x 1.6 = Kilometers.
Millimeters (mm) x 0.04 = Inches.
Centimers (cm) x 0.4 = Inches.
Meters (m) x 1.1 = Yards.
Kilometers (km) x 0.6 = Miles.

Standard (Each step you move down - indicated by "-," multiply by the number you pass. Each step you move up divide by the number you pass.)
1 Gal - 4 Qts - 2 pts - 2 c - 8 oz.
1 Ton - 2000 lbs - 16 oz.
1 Day - 24 hrs - 60 min - 60 sec.
1 Mi - 1760 yds - 3 ft - 12 in.
Metric (Moving down, move the decimal to the right once for each you pass, reverse when going up).
Kilo (1000) km/kL/kg - Hecta (100) hm/hL/hg - Deka (10) dam/daL/dag - Meter m/Liter L/Gram g (1) - Deci (0.1) dm/dL/dg - Centi (0.01) cm/cL/cg - Milli (0.001) mm/mL/mg
