These are the units of measurements available in . They are typically used with a numerical values (e.g. "5.6 metres"), but the units in the first and third columns can be used by themselves as a complete expression. For example, "hour" can be used as a formula because it is equivalent to "1 hour". This comes in handy when writing rates because we can use expressions like "$3.1 / sqft".
