15. LecturePLUS Timberlake15 Give the value of the following units: A. 1 kg = ____ g 1) 10 g2) 100 g 3) 1000 g B. 1 mm = ____ m 1) 0.001 m2) 0.01 m 3) 0.1 m Learning Check

16. LecturePLUS Timberlake16 A. 1 kg = ____ g 3) 1000 g B. 1 mm = ____ m 1) 0.001 m Solution

17. LecturePLUS Timberlake17 Some American Equalities 1 ft= inches 1 lb=16 oz 1 quart = pints 1 quart=4 cups Why are the quantities in each pair equal?

18. LecturePLUS Timberlake18 Some American Equalities 1 ft=12 inches 1 lb=16 oz 1 quart = 2 pints 1 quart=4 cups The quantities in each pair give the same measured amount in two different units.

19. LecturePLUS Timberlake19 Some Metric-American Equalities 1 in.=2.54 cm 1 qt=946 mL 1 L=1.06 qt 1 lb = 454 g 1 kg=2.20 lb Remember these for exams.

20. LecturePLUS Timberlake20 Equalities given in a Problem Example 1 At the store, the price of one pound of red peppers is $2.39. Equality: 1 lb red peppers =$2.39 Example 2 At the gas station, one gallon of gas is $1.34. Equality: 1 gallon of gas=$1.34

21. LecturePLUS Timberlake21 Conversion Factors Fractions in which the numerator and denominator are quantities expressed in an equality between those units Example: 1 in. = 2.54 cm Factors: 1 in. and 2.54 cm 2.54 cm 1 in.

22. LecturePLUS Timberlake22 Learning Check Write conversion factors that relate each of the following pairs of units: A. Liters and mL B. Hours and minutes D. Meters and kilometers

23. LecturePLUS Timberlake23 Solution A. quarts and mL 1 L = 1000 mL 1 L and 1000 mL 1000 mL 1 L B. hours and minutes1 hr = 60 min 1 hr and 60 min 60 min1 hr C. meters and kilometers 1 km = 1000 m 1 km and 1000 m 1000 m 1 km
