No. The same quantities in different units.
It can be a conversion factor - though not necessarily. For example, 68 deg Fahrenheit = 20 deg Celsius. But there is no conversion factor for F-to-C: instead there is a linear equation.
Use a conversion factor
You use a conversion factor when you want to convert something to something else - for example, to convert between different units of measurement.
It is the units for the measurement which you are converting FROM.
No. The same quantities in different units.
I don't understand what the question is asking me to do
A multiplier.
One term for such a ratio is a "conversion factor".
It is the conversion factor between the measurement units.
Conversion factor.
A ratio that's used to convert units always has the value of ' 1 ' with no units. If it were anything different, then you could not multiply it or divide it by any quantity without changing the value of the quantity, which is a basic no-no.
Ration does not have units. You have to convert one of them to the same units and then work it out. For example: what is the ratio of 4m to 200cm ? This is the same as: 4m to 2m - so the answer is 2 to 1. (400cm to 200cm gives the same answer.)
It could be a conversion [factor].
The value of the conversion factor depends on the units used to express the quantity being converted. Different units require different conversion factors to relate them accurately. The conversion factor is determined by the relationship between the original unit and the desired unit in the formula for the specific substance.
For two measurements to be a conversion factor, they must represent the same quantity but in different units. The ratio should equal 1 and can be written as a fraction where the units cancel out, allowing you to convert from one unit to another.
A conversion factor is a numerical factor describing the proportionality between two units. For example 0.45359237 is the conversion factor from pounds to kilograms. That is 0.45359237 kg/lb. If the conversion factor kg/lb is multiplied with 4 lb, you get the same mass value in kg.
