May I ask you how you would enter such a calculation on a simple calculator? You only use the numbers, taking care that they're based on comparable units (so not to add grams and kilograms etc.). In Mathematica you do the same. If you want to do unit conversions there is the Units package that you read in using Needs["Units`"] In this package the function Convert will do unit conversions.
