Warm up • True or False = 1 Explain Can you think of other ways to make 1 using a fraction bar?
Length • 1 ft = 12 in • 1 yd = 3 ft • 1 mi = 1,760 yd = 5,280 ft
Weight 1 lb = 16 oz 1 T = 2,000 lb
Capacity • 1 c = 8 fl oz • 1 pt = 2 c • 1 qt = 2 pt • 1 gal = 4 qt
Time • 1 min = 60 sec • 1 hr = 60 min • 1 day = 24 hr • 1 yr = 365 days
Converting measurements using Dimensional Analysis We use dimensions (length, weight, etc) Can help when you take Chemistry, Physics
Example 1 • 1 yard is how many inches? • Rewrite as: 1 yd = ______ in • To solve:
Example 2 • A quart of chocolate milk will be shared among friends. How many cups of milk will there be? • Rewrite as: 1 qt = ______ c • To solve:
Example 3 • How many seconds are in a day? • Rewrite as: 1 day = ______ sec • To solve:
Extension • How many ft/sec is 60 mi/hr?
