To set up a proportion to convert miles to yards, you can use the relationship that 1 mile is equal to 1,760 yards. This can be written as the proportion: 1 mile / 1,760 yards = x miles / y yards. You can then solve for x (the number of miles) by cross-multiplying and dividing.
To find out what 1 inch on the map equals in miles, you can set up a proportion: 34 inches -> 750 miles 1 inch -> x miles Cross multiplying gives you: 34x = 750. Solving for x, you get x = 750 / 34 ≈ 22.06 miles.
1g = 1000mg. To convert 350mg to g, you can set up a proportion. For example, 1g/1000mg = xg/350mg You can then cross multiply and solve. A short-cut is to move the decimal place according to the number of zeroes - here we have 1000 which is 3 zeroes. Move the decimal three to the left and you get 0.35g.
2 meters = 6.561 679 79 feet If you need the mathematical eqation, set it up as a proportion: 1 meter 2 meters ---------- = ---------- 3.280 feet X feet Direct Conversion Formula2 m* 1 ft 0.3048 m = 6.56167979 ft
1 in = 2.54 cm. To convert 15 inches to centimeters, you would set it up as: 15 in x (2.54 cm/1 in). This will give you the equivalent length in centimeters (15 in = 38.1 cm).
Dimensional analysis allows you to convert between non-alike units of measure. Set up your given measurements as a proportion, and solve for the location that is standing in for the missing value.
