Let’s review the method Factor Labeling Factor Labeling
we’ll determine the number of kilometers in 1 mile Using the we’ll determine the number of kilometers in 1 mile Factor Labeling Method Factor Labeling 1 mi = ? km
To do this we need to know some basic conversions. 1 mile = 5280 feet Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
You should learn these common conversions. 1 mile = 5280 feet Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
To start the conversion from miles to kilometers we draw a set of brackets. Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Then draw a horizontal line that divides the brackets, top to bottom. Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Again, we are converting 1 mi. Again, we are converting 1 mile into kilometers so we’ll place 1 mile above the line. Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
There’s no denominator so we’ll leave the bottom blank. Leave this blank Leave this blank There’s no denominator so we’ll leave the bottom blank. Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
We need to convert miles into feet, feet into inches, inches into centimeters, centimeters into meters and finally meters into kilometers. Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Let’s get started and convert 1 mi. Let’s get started and convert the miles into feet! Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Draw another set of brackets with a horizontal line next 1 mi. Draw another set of brackets with a horizontal line next to the first set. Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
We’re going to match units in the 1 mi. mi. We’re going to match units in the numerator with units in the denominator. Place miles in the bottom of the second set of brackets. This matches the miles already on the top in the first set of brackets. Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
1 mi. ft. mi. We will change miles into feet so place feet directly above miles Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
To fill in the conversion, place 1 mi. 5280 ft. 1 mi. There’s 5280 feet in 1 mile. To fill in the conversion, place 5280 next to feet and 1 next to miles. Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
As you can see, the miles on the 5280 ft. 1 mi. As you can see, the miles on the top of the first set of brackets matches with the miles in the bottom of the second set of brackets. Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
so we have changed to feet. 1 mi. mi. 5280 ft. 1 mi. reduces to one so we have changed to feet. mi. 1 Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Watch closely as it’s done. 1 mi. mi. 5280 ft. 1 mi. The same process will be used to change feet into inches! Watch closely as it’s done. Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
1 mi. mi. 5280 ft. 1 mi. Draw a set of brackets and then the horizontal line. Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Match units top to bottom. 1 mi. mi. 5280 ft. 1 mi. ft. Match units top to bottom. Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Place in the conversion units. (What are we converting to? 1 mi. mi. 5280 ft. in. 1 mi. ft. Place in the conversion units. (What are we converting to? In this case feet into inches.) Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Fill in the conversion numbers. 1 mi. mi. 5280 ft. 12 in. 1 mi. 1 ft. Fill in the conversion numbers. Factor Labeling conversions 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 foot = 12 inches 1 foot = 12 inches 1 mi = ? km 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
