Question

Write two conversion factors for the following unit equalities. The first example hasbeen completed for you.b. 1 mile = 1.61 kilometerc. 4 cups = 1 quart

Answer 1

Take into account that any conversion factor can be written as a fraction in which you have the equivalence in the numerator and denominator.

b. 1 mile = 1.61 kilometer

By using the abbreviated form mi as mile and km as kiometer, you can write:

$\frac{1mi}{1.61\operatorname{km}},\frac{1.61\operatorname{km}}{1mi}$

c. 4 cups = 1 quart

$\frac{4\text{cups}}{1qt},\frac{1qt}{4\text{cups}}$
