Code need to be in java

Transcribed Image Text:**Program for Converting English Measurements to Metric Measurements**
This program is designed to convert English measurements to metric measurements for pounds to kilograms, miles to kilometers, and gallons to liters. You can name the program and its methods as you like.
### Program Structure
Your program will include three main methods:
1. **Pounds to Kilograms Method:**
- Accepts an integer number of pounds as input.
- Converts pounds to kilograms using the formula: \( \text{kg} = \frac{\text{pounds}}{2.2} \).
- Returns the result as a double representing the number of kilograms.
2. **Miles to Kilometers Method:**
- Accepts an integer number of miles as input.
- Converts miles to kilometers using the formula: \( \text{km} = 1.61 \times \text{miles} \).
- Returns the result as a double representing the number of kilometers.
3. **Gallons to Liters Method:**
- Accepts an integer number of gallons as input.
- Converts gallons to liters using the formula: \( \text{liters} = 3.79 \times \text{gallons} \).
- Returns the result as a double representing the number of liters.
### Main Program Functionality
The main program prompts the user to enter an integer quantity and specify the units (as a char value):
- If the input unit is 'p', the program calls the "pounds to kg" method to convert the input, then displays the number of pounds and the equivalent kilograms.
- If the input unit is 'm', the program calls the "miles to km" method to convert the input, then displays the number of miles and the equivalent kilometers.
- If the input unit is 'g', the program calls the "gallons to liters" method to convert the input, then displays the number of gallons and the equivalent liters.
### Example
```
Please enter an integer quantity and the units:
10
g
```
Output:
```
10 gallons is equal to 37.9 liters
```
