a unit to measure the purity of gold, the purest gold being 24 karats
A karat is a unit of measurement used to denote the purity of gold, with one karat being equal to 1/24th of the whole. Therefore, 24-karat gold is considered to be pure gold. The higher the karat number, the higher the percentage of gold in the item. For example, 18-karat gold contains 75% gold, while 14-karat gold contains 58.3% gold. Karat is also used as a term to describe the weight of gemstones, with one karat equal to 0.2 grams. The term "carat" is sometimes used interchangeably with "karat," but carat is generally used to describe the weight of diamonds and other gemstones, while karat is used to describe the purity of gold.
a measure equal to 16 fluid ounces, often used for measuring liquids such as beer or milk
A pint is a unit of volume measurement commonly used in the United States to measure liquids. It is abbreviated as "pt." In the US customary system, one liquid pint is equal to 16 fluid ounces or approximately 473.176 milliliters. Pints are commonly used to measure beverages such as milk, beer, and cider, as well as other liquids like soup or sauce. They are also used as a standard serving size in many bars and restaurants for certain drinks, such as draft beer or cocktails.

Grammatical Information:
the branch of mathematics that comprises differentials and integrals
Calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with change and motion, focusing on concepts like limits, derivatives, and integrals. It helps to understand how things change over time or how they accumulate, such as in physics or economics. Calculus is essential for solving problems involving rates of change, areas under curves, and optimization.

a unit of measurement used to express speed or velocity in the metric system, representing the distance traveled in kilometers over the course of one hour
a temperature scale where 0°C represents the freezing point and 100°C represents the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure
A degree Celsius "°C" is a unit of temperature measurement in the metric system. It is used to measure temperature on the Celsius scale, which is based on the freezing point of water, 0°C, and the boiling point of water, 100°C, at standard atmospheric pressure. In the Celsius scale, the interval between the freezing and boiling points of water is divided into 100 equal parts, called degrees Celsius. The Celsius scale is commonly used in scientific research, meteorology, and everyday life for expressing temperatures in many countries around the world.
Grammatical Information:
