Answer 1

Go to the kitchen and look at the labels on your food.  Net weight will be in pounds or ounces (English) with the metric equivalent in parentheses.  My Rice Krispies box says Net Wt. 12 oz. (340g).  All your food will have similar labels.

In fact, everything in a package or can will have both measurements.  My can of paint thinner says "16 Fl. Oz. (One Pint) .473 Liter".  That's 2 English and 1 metric measurements on one item.  

Some will be weights (pounds, ounces, grams), some will be volumes (quarts, gallons, ounces, liters).
