Meter Liter Gram Measurement – PART II Unit 1 Mrs. Callender
Lesson Essential Question: How do I convert from one unit to another?
A ratio that is derived from the equality of two different units and that can be used to convert from one unit to another. 1 dozen eggs = 12 eggs CONVERSION FACTOR
1 sack = 7 bips 12 tolls = 1 lardo 4 tolls = 3 smacks 5 smacks = 1 bip 8 lardos = 7 fleas Conversion Factors Looking at your worksheet what are the conversion factors?
Now put them into fraction form -or- equivalence form. 1 sack 7 bips 7 bips 1 sack You and your beaker partner make equivalent fractions out of the other conversion factors.
STEPS TO CONVERTING • Always write down the given with its’ unit. 1 lardo
STEPS TO CONVERTING 2. Add a multiply sign and a line for your conversion factor. 1 lardo x __________
STEPS TO CONVERTING 3. Look at your conversion factors and find one containing a lardo and possibly the unit you are converting to. 12 tolls = 1 lardo or 8 lardos = 7 fleas 1 lardo x __________
STEPS TO CONVERTING • Develop your conversion factors. 12 tolls1 lardo 1 lardo 12 tolls 1 lardo x __________
STEPS TO CONVERTING 5. Use the fraction that will “cancel” out the lardo taking you to tolls. 12 tolls1 lardo 1 lardo 12 tolls 1 lardo x 12 tolls 1 lardo
STEPS TO CONVERTING • Now convert to smacks using 4 tolls = 3 smacks. 4 tolls3 smacks 3 smacks 4 tolls 1 lardo x 12 tolls x 3 smacks 1 lardo 4 tolls
STEPS TO CONVERTING • Now do the math. 1 lardo x 12 tolls x 3 smacks = 9 smacks 1 lardo 4 tolls *check* if you do not end with the correct unit go back and check your conversion process.
