Drill # 139/11/2014 • Write drill # 13 and the date in your notebook • Copy the questions (they are on the right side of the board) • Answer • 7 minutes, everyone is quiet and in her/his seat
Topic: Factor-Label Method Practice Objective: Students will be able to • Apply the factor-label method to change units of measurement HW #10: Get worksheet
Equivalence statements English-Metric Metric-Metric • 1 inch = 2.5 cm • 1 lb = 0.45 kg • 1 mile =1600 m • 1 m = 100 cm • 1 m = 1000 mm • 1 m = 1000 000 μm • 1 cm = 10 mm • 1 km = 1000 m • 1 L = 1000 mL • 1 kg = 1000 g
Factor-labels • Make a fraction from the equivalence statement • One side goes on top of the other • There are two factor-labels for each equivalence statement • Both equal 1 (one as the number) • Example: 1 inchor2.5 cm 2.5 cm1 inch
Change the unit • Multiply the quantity you know by one of the factor-labels • Which one? • The one that will help you cancel the unit you are trying to get rid of • example • 30 inches to cm • 30inch x 2.5cm / 1inch • 30inch x 2.5cm / 1inch • 30 x 2.5 /1 cm = 75 cm
