The measurements must be equal to each other.
It must be the unit of the measurement that you are converting FROM.
It is the units for the measurement which you are converting FROM.
The denominator must contain the unit that you wish to cancel in the numerator of the other number.
The unit that is used in the denominator is the one to cancels the unit that appears in a numerator.
The two measurements must be in the same units (or units that are directly convertible from one to the other). A gram is a unit of mass, a litre of volume and there is no direct conversion between the two.
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.
The measurements must be equal to each other.
All ratio measurements must be in the same units before simplifying
It must be the unit of the measurement that you are converting FROM.
No. It would be very unusual for a conversion factor to equal one.
The numerator must contain the unit INTO which you are converting.
It is the units for the measurement which you are converting FROM.
The conversion factor, for converting from UNITA to UNITB is the number of UNITB in each UNITA. There are 3.2808 feet in 1 metre so the conversion factor for converting metres into feet is 3.2808.
These are the units which are used for the measurement that you are converting FROM.
1. They must always be true 2. They must always equal 1.
conversion factor
A conversion factor is a ratio that allows you to convert a quantity from one unit to another. It is usually derived from the relationship between two different units of measurement and is used in mathematical calculations to convert values from one unit to another.
