-The Household System-

The household system of units was developed so patients could measure out dosages at home using ordinary containers found in the kitchen. Cups and spoons, for example, are simple containers that anyone can use to administer or take medicine. How many times have you taken cough medicine on a teaspoon? We all have. So it's important we understand the household system of measurement. It really is no different to convert from one unit to another than any of the other systems we've studied so far, but it will be helpful if we work through just a few examples so we have a feel for the system.
