2.  A unit conversion is a changing of one unit to another. 1 foot = _____ inches 1 meter = _____ centimeters 1 pound = _______ ounces 1 minute = ______ seconds 1 hour = ________ minutes 1 day = __________ seconds 1 gram = ___________ milligrams

3.  Metric units are the universally excepted units around the world (except for the US). They are the easiest to convert.  Metric Unit Examples:  meters  liters  grams Base Units – all other metric units are based off of these (km, cm, ml, kg)

4.  1 km= 1000 m  100 cm= 1 m  1000 mm = 1 m  10 mm = 1 cm These also work for liters and grams. Just replace the base unit (m) with a (g) or (l).

6. Length: 12 inches (in) = 1 foot (ft) 3 feet = 1 yard (yd) 5280 feet = 1 mile (mi) Capacity: 3 teaspoons (tsp) = 1 tablespoon (tbsp) 16 tbsp = 1 cup (c) 8 ounces (oz) = 1 c 2 c = 1 pint (pt) 2 pt = 1 quart (qt) 4 qt = 1 gallon (gal) Weight: 16 ounces (oz) = 1 pound (lb) 2000 lb = 1 ton

8.  A mathematical way to convert one unit to another. This works for metric units and non- metric (English) units.  This works by taking the unit you are given and multiplying it by a conversion factor.

9. A unit conversion factor is a fraction whose numerator and denominator are equivalent measures. Some common unit conversion factors are given below. You can also use the reciprocal of these.

10. Given Conversion Factor For meters to cancel out, meters in the conversion factor must be on the opposite side of the fraction (fence). 3m 100 cm 1m Multiply every number on top of the fence and divide by the bottom.

11. conversion factor 1516 g 1 kg 1000 g

12.  John runs 5 kilometers a day to stay in shape. How many meters is this?

16.  The Reno High School football team is 3.2 ft away from the goal line. How many inches does the ball have to travel for them to score a touchdown?

17.  Common Conversion Factors  5280 ft = 1 mile  12 in = 1 ft  1 mile = 1600 m  1 in = 2.54 cm  3 ft = 1 yard English to Metric conversion factors

18. 5 ft 12 in 1 ft 2.54 cm 1 in

19.  Convert 50 inches to m.

20. 1. Convert 45 inches to cm. 2. Convert 8 m to inches.

21. 1. Convert 10ft to cm. 2. Convert 5 km to in.

22. In the cases when used to describe data storage, bits/bytes are calculated as follows: 1 byte = 8 bits 1 kilobyte (K / Kb) = 1,024 bytes 1 megabyte (M / MB) = 1,024 kilobytes 1 gigabyte (G / GB) 1,024 megabytes 1 terabyte (T / TB) = 1,024 gigabytes A bit or binary digit is the basic unit of information in computing and telecommunications; it is the amount of information that can be stored by a digital device or other physical system that can usually exist in only two distinct states.

23.  The Nintendo 64 featured a 64-bit chip. How many bytes of data could the Nintendo 64 store? (1 byte = 8 bits)

24.  Frederick needs to buy a 1TB External Hard Drive to back up his files. How many Kb of information can this hard drive store?

25. The human brain will store 100 trillion bits in its lifetime. 8 bits equal 1 byte, and 1,024 bytes equal 1 kilobyte, and 1,024 kilobytes equal one megabyte. How many million megabytes can your brain store?
