Remember to set up each conversion the same way. Conversions Practice Remember to set up each conversion the same way.

Standard/Standard Conversions Length/Distance 1 foot = 12 inches so: 12 inches=1 foot 5280 feet = 1 mile 1 yard = 3 feet 5.879x1012 miles = 1 light year (LOL)

Standard/Standard Conversions Mass 1 pound = 16 oz. 2000 pounds = 1 ton

Standard/Standard Conversions Volume 8 ounces = 1 cup 2 cups = 1 pint 2 pints = 1 quart 4 quarts = 1 gallon

Some Standard/Metric Conversions Length/Distance 1 meter = 3.28 feet 1 inch = 2.54 cm 1 mile = 1.609 km 1 mile = 5280 feet

Some Standard/Metric Conversions Volume 946 mL = 1 qt. 1 L = 1.05 qt. 1 gal = 3.78 L 1L = .26 gal.

Some Standard/Metric Conversions Mass 1 kg = 2.2 lbs. 1 oz. = 28.35 g 1 lb. = 453.6 g

Metric/Metric Conversions Mass is measured in grams Volume is measured in liters Length/Distance is measured in meters The prefix determines how many of each unit and the best part is, IT’S ALL BASED ON 10’S!

Metric/Metric Conversions Kilo means 1000 Hecto means 100 Deka means 10 Deci means 1/10th Centi means 1/100th Milli means 1/1000th Micro means 1/1,000,000th Nano means 1,000,000,000th

Conversions Practice Remember to set up your problems before you solve. 7 miles to km 68 lbs. to kg 40 inches to feet 40 inches to cm 3250 mL to gal.

3.5 miles to meters 25 lbs. to kg 425 oz. to kg 15 L to gal. Conversions Practice 3.5 miles to meters 25 lbs. to kg 425 oz. to kg 15 L to gal. 110 lbs. to g

Conversions Practice 12 kg to oz. 26 gal. to L 16 km to feet Now for something a little different! Can we convert 55 mph to feet per second.

Review Please just take 15 minutes to review this on Sun. Night. Skills Quiz on Tues. Take some time to learn what you can about the atom before next Tuesday. www.jlab.org

Practice Rates Conversions The space shuttle orbits Earth at 17,500 miles per hour. How fast is it moving in feet per second. Rick decided to measure how fast he was running. He determined that he was running 10 feet per second. How fast was he running in yards per minute? A plane is travelling at 295 kilometers per hour. Approximately how fast is it travelling in meters per second. Sound waves travel through air at a velocity of 332 meters per second. Approximately what is the speed in kilometers per hour?
