4572000-34290000Unit Conversion WorksheetName: _________________________________ Date: __________________When converting from one a unit to another it is useful to use conversion factors. Conversion factors are fractions that equal 1 because the numerator (top) equals the denominator (bottom), but they use different units. In algebra you learned that multiplying any quantity by 1 does not change the quantity’s value, so we can use conversion factors to change the units of a measurement without changing the value of a measurement. For instance, since 1 km = 1000 m, 1 min = 60 s, and 1 hr = 60 min, we can create the conversion factors below:1 km1000m or m1km, 1min60s or s1min, 1h3600s or s1h, 1kg1000gor g1 kgand …….. you can make your factor or conversion.By using all 3 of these conversion factors you can convert 15 km/hr into m/s. Be careful to use the conversion factor that cancels the units you are trying to convert out of. If you can cancel (reduce to 1) those units you did it correctly.15mhx(1000m)(1 km)x1h3600s=4.2m/sCarry out the following conversions. If you have trouble, start by writing out the conversion factors you’ll need.1) 1.5 year (non-leap year) into seconds. 2) 23 km into cm. 23km( )( )x( )( )=_________cm 3) 35 kg. into g, 35g( )( )=_________kg 4) 15.6 kg into mg . 15.6kg( )( )=_______________g5) 8.5 m/s into km/hr 8.5ms( )( )x( )( )x( )( )=___________kmh4383405158750006.
