 Puerto Rican units of measurement

Puerto Rico, as a territory of the United States, primarily uses the imperial system of measurement, which includes units such as inches, feet, and pounds. This is consistent with the measurements used in the mainland U.S. However, the metric system is also widely recognized and used, particularly in scientific, educational, and medical contexts. In everyday life, Puerto Ricans will commonly express distances in miles, height in feet and inches, and weights in pounds.
