Units of measurement used in Honduras
A number of units of measurement were used in Honduras for length, mass, volume etc. In Honduras, the metric system was adopted in 1910, and has been compulsory since 1912, under a joint convention between Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador.
Pre-metric units.
Before the introduction of the metric system, a number of modified Spanish (Castilian), English and local units were used, and continue to be used today by a large part of the country.
Length.
A number of units were used to measure length. One vara was equal to 0.836 m. Some other units are given below:
1 cuarta = ;templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" / ;1⁄4 vara
1 tercia = ;templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" / ;1⁄3 vara
1 mecate = 24 varas.
1 legua = 5,000 varas
Area.
The manzana was used by farmers to measure land area. For large areas, land was customarily measured in labors or legua.
1 manzana = 10,000 vara2 = 1.727 acres = 6,989 m2 ≈ .7 hectare
1 labor = 1 million vara2
1 legua = 25 labors = 25 million vara2
Mass.
Several units were used to measure mass in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador. Some units are given below:
1 caja = 16 kg
1 quintal = 100 libras ≈ 46 kg ≈ 101.4 lbs 
1 carga = 2 quintals ≈ 200 lbs ≈ 90.72 kg
Volume.
Several units were used to measure capacity in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador. 
1 botella = 0.63 to 0.67 L.
1 cajuela = 16.6 L.
1 cuartillo varies between countries, but defined as 4 octavillos or 1/4 almude and contains 1.156 L ≈ 1.222 qt(US) (liquid) ≈ 1.017 qt(Imp)
1 fanega = 12 almudes = 48 cuartillos ≈ 55.50 L ≈ 1.960 ft3 (1.575 U.S. bushels)
