In converting 30 pounds to ounces what unit would you place in the denominator of your ratio?
The units in the denominator are pounds.
Why can units be simplified first when measurements are multiplied?
The numerator and denominator can be simplified becuase any unit over itself is equal to 1. So for example meter/meter = 1.
How do you write 55 over 16 as a mixed number?
To write a fraction as a mixed number, you need to subtract multiples of the denominator from the numerator until the numerator is less than the denominator. In this case we take off 16s from 55. 55-16=39. 39-16=23. 23-16=7 So we're left with 7/16, and we've taken off 16 three times which means we have 3 units. So 55/16 as a mixed number is 3 and 7/16
In converting 11 minutes to seconds what unit omit the number would you place in the denominator of your ratio Use the plural form in your answer. Remember that there are 60 seconds in a minute?
The units in the denominator are minutes. Also, since you are asked to omit the number in the answer, the fact that there are 60 seconds in a minute is irrelevant.
What does a numerator tell you?

A fraction in which the numerator and denominator represent the same amount but are in different units?
What is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator represent the same amount but are in different units?
What is fraction with different units in the numerator and denominator?

How do you cancel units of measurements?
If one unit is in the numerator and one unit is in the denominator then they can cancel out.
How do you know which units of a conversion factor must be in the denominator?
The denominator must contain the unit that you wish to cancel in the numerator of the other number.
How do you convert height to inches?
Multiply it by a fraction that has a certain number of inches in the numerator and the same length as the numerator but in the units of the given height in the denominator. The original units cancel out, and you're left with inches. If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are equal, the fraction is equal to 1, and multiplying something by 1 does not change its value.
A fraction whose numerator and denominator represent the same quantity but use different units?
A unit conversion ratio
Fraction with different units in the numerator and denominator?
This could be any fraction where the denominator and the numerator are different. For example, 1/2, 3/7, 15/8......and so on. In algebraic terms this would be written x/y where x ≠ y
How do you rewrite the fraction 60cm over 1m so that the numerator and the denominator have the same units?

Is it true that z values have no units of measurements?
