This lab maps to learning objectives $1,2,3,4,5,6,$ and $7$ for Competency Two: Design and Code a Simple Program that Uses Variables and Performs Calculations

Design a Solution $($LO $1\mathrm{.}1,1\mathrm{.}2)$

This refers to the competency module learning objective covered by this activity

For this portion of the lab, you will design the solution to a simple program that uses sequential statements $-$ that is the basic requirement. $($For advanced students, I encourage you to use loops, functions, if$/$else$,$ a menu etc...$)$ You may draw a flowchart or write pseudocode. If you draw a flowchart, you will scan the drawing and submit it as a pdf or jpeg file. Design a solution to the following problem:

Your cousin is visiting from England and it is getting very annoying for you to constantly convert US measures to metric measures. After all, only $95\%$ of the world uses the metric system. Using your programming prowess, you decide to write him a program that will perform the necessary conversions. $($The program design will convert ALL $5$ measurements$)$ But, wait, someone once told you that "hours of planning can save you weeks of programming." Keeping that in mind, you will first design a program that performs the following conversions:
