Just look for a conversion table. English to metric system or vice versa.

There are thousands of programs or on-line converters if you need one. Nothing to understand really just another system of arbitrary dimensions.

google is pretty awesome at conversions. just type what you want to what (i.e 16 lbs to kg) and itll show in black bold letters. as for understanding it, i think that just comes with practice :)
