Solve Problems Involving Measurement and Conversions
In this lesson, we will learn how to solve problems involving measurements and conversions between units.
What is a measurement conversion?
Measurement conversion involves changing a measurement from one unit to another. For example, converting inches to feet, or kilograms to grams.
Example 1:
If you have a measurement of 24 inches and you need to convert it to feet, you use the conversion factor:
1 foot = 12 inches
So, to convert 24 inches to feet, divide 24 by 12:
24 ÷ 12 = 2 feet
Example 2:
If you have 5 kilograms and need to convert it to grams, you use the conversion factor:
1 kilogram = 1000 grams
So, to convert 5 kilograms to grams, multiply 5 by 1000:
5 × 1000 = 5000 grams
Now, let's practice solving measurement conversion problems!
