Converting Units of Measurement
1. Convert 500 cm to meter.
= 500 cm x [tex]\frac{1 m}{100 cm}[/tex]
= 0.5 m
So, 500 cm = 0.5 m
2. Convert 18 cm to inches
= 18 cm x [tex]\frac{1 in}{2.54 cm}[/tex]
= 7.09 in
So, 18 cm = 7.09 in
Steps in converting unit of measurements:
1. . Identify the unit you have. This is the Starting Unit.
Ex. 500cm
2. Identify the unit you want. This is the Desired Units.
Ex. m
3. Identify appropriate unit conversion factor(s).
Ex. 1m = 100cm or 100 cm = 1 m
4. Express unit conversion factor into a fraction. The numerator should be the desired unit and the denominator should be the unit the same as the starting unit.
Ex. [tex]\frac{1 m}{100 cm}[/tex]
5. Cancel units and perform the math calculations such as multiplication or division.
Ex. 500 cm x [tex]\frac{1 m}{100 cm}[/tex] = 500 x [tex]\frac{1m}{100}[/tex]
6. Evaluate the result if the answer makes sense.
