Transcription de la présentation

  1. Conversion Factors Objective: Learn to use one or more conversion factors to solve rate problems.

  2. Conversion Factor • What is a conversion factor? A conversion factor is a fraction whose numerator and denominator represent the same quaintly but use different units. Thus the fraction is equal to 1.

  3. Example: RIGHT? RIGHT? And so on…

  4. How many do you know? Useful Measurements

  5. G-LaND

  6. The conversion factor: • Must introduce the desired unit • Must cancel the original unit so that the desired unit is all that remains • The original unit must be on the opposite side of the conversion fraction. Helpful Hints:

  7. Find the appropriate factor for each conversion. • feet to yards There are 3 feet in 1 yard. To convert feet to yards, multiply the number of feetby • pounds to ounces There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. To convert pounds to ounces, multiply the number of pounds by Finding Conversion Factors Remember we need the units in the denominator to cancel.

  8. Try This! Find the appropriate factor for each conversion. • Kilometers to centimeters • Inches to yards • Hours to weeks Multiply the number of km by this Multiply the number of in by this Multiply the number of hrs by this

  9. Try This! A strobe lamp can be used to measure the speed of an object. The lamp flashes every . A camera records the object moving 7.5cm between flashes. How fast is the object moving in ?

  10. Example 1: Find the appropriate factor for each conversion. • feet to yards • pounds to ounces

  11. Example 2: The average American uses 580 pounds of paper per year. Find the number of pounds of paper the average American uses per month, to the nearest tenth.

  12. Example 3: A strobe lamp can be used to measure the speed of an object. The lamp flashes every of a second. A camera records the object moving 52 cm between flashes. How fast is the object moving in m/s?
