Multiply by a conversion factor. 0.7 mi 1 5,280 ft 1 mi 0.7 mi = • Divide by the common units. (0.7)(5,280) ft 1 = Simplify. Simplify. = 3,696 ft COURSE 3 LESSON 5-2 Choosing and Converting Units Use dimensional analysis to convert 0.7 mi to ft. There are 3,696 ft in 0.7 miles. 5-2
Estimate 6.84 7. Then, 7 • 60 ÷ 1000 = 0.42. Multiply by two ratios that each equal one. 6.84 m 1 s 6.84 m 1 s 1 km 1000 m 60 s 1 min = • • Divide by the common units. (6.48)(1)(60) km (1)(1,000)(1) min = Simplify. Use a calculator. = 0.4104 COURSE 3 LESSON 5-2 Choosing and Converting Units A rowing team completed a 2,000-m course at a rate of 6.84 m/s. Convert this rate to kilometers per minute. The team rowed at a rate of 0.4104 km/min. Check for Reasonableness The answer 0.4104 km/min is close to the estimate 0.42. The answer is reasonable. 5-2
