When you multiply the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by the same number, you obtain an equivalent fraction to the original, meaning they have the same value even though they look different.
The same happens if you use th conversion factor to convert a unit measure to another. For example, 1kg = 1,000 g, then 5 kg = 5(1,000) = 5000 g.
It's a question, which is heavier 1kg iron or 1,000 g fur? What is your answer?
What else can I help you with?
What do you call when multiplying the numerator and denominator of a ratio by the same factor?
It is finding an equivalent fraction.
A conversion factor is a ratio equivalent to what?
A conversion factor is a ratio equivalent to one.
Is a conversion factor written as a fraction?
Not necessarily. The conversion factor from feet to inches is 12.
What are some useful ways of finding equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios?
Multiply both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer or divide both by any common factor. You will have an equivalent fraction or equivalent ratio.
In dimensional analysis a fraction that always equal 1 is called a?
Conversion factor I think it is a unit fraction?!?!?!?!?
What do you call when multiplying the numerator and denominator of a ratio by the same factor?
It is finding an equivalent fraction.
A conversion factor is a ratio equivalent to what?
A conversion factor is a ratio equivalent to one.
What do you do when you are finding an equivalent fraction?
Pick any non-zero integer and multiply both the nuerator and denominator of the original fraction to get an equivalent fraction. You can also pick any common factor.
Is a conversion factor written as a fraction?
Not necessarily. The conversion factor from feet to inches is 12.
A conversion factor is a fraction that is always equal to what number?
A conversion factor is a fraction that is always equal to 1. This allows you to convert between different units by multiplying the quantity you have by the conversion factor.
What conversion factor fraction is used to convert inches to feet?
The conversion fraction is 1/12.
What conversion factor fraction is used to convert cups to liters?
The conversion factor fraction used to convert cups to liters is 0.2366 liters per cup.
Must a conversion fraction equal one?
No. It would be very unusual for a conversion factor to equal one.
What are some useful ways of finding equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios?
Multiply both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer or divide both by any common factor. You will have an equivalent fraction or equivalent ratio.

What is a fraction that compares two equivalent measurements called?
It may be called the conversion factor.Note, however, that this only works when both measurements are absolute measurements, or equivalently, the measurement is on a ratio scale. For example, a fraction representing equivalent Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures is not a conversion factor because the two Zero values do not correspond to the same temperature.
What fraction can be use as a conversion factor of 1.74?
174/100 or 87/50
