These comparisons are much easier in the metric system : it is either per unit or per kg. If it is per gram, it's easy still because *1000 or /1000 is very easy. (basically you just move the decimal point, no calculator needed)

It is because we count with base 10 numbers that metric is easy and imperial is difficult.
