  1. MODULE A - 5 Conversion and Cancel

  2. OBJECTIVES • At the end of this module, the student will be able to… • Given a mathematical problem requiring conversion between measurements systems and the appropriate conversion factors, derive the correct answer. • Given a mathematical problem requiring conversion within the metric system, derive the correct answer.

  3. Setting up a conversion problem • What is a unit of measure? • Attached to a number • Indicates how something is being measured • EXAMPLES: • Pounds or Grams • Inches or Meters • Gallons or Liters

  4. Setting up a conversion problem • Convert: 100 lbs to ___ kgs Units of measure

  5. Setting up a conversion problem • What is a “Given” and an “Unknown”? • Given is the starting value or quantity. • Unknown is answer. • EXAMPLES: • Convert:100 pounds to ___ kilograms • Convert:100 milliliters to ___ Liters

  6. Setting up a conversion problem • Convert:100 lbs to ____ kgs UNKNOWN VALUE GIVEN VALUE

  7. Setting up a conversion problem (Given) (Conversion factor) (Answer) • Problems requiring conversions will be solved easier when a standardized procedure of set-up and solution is used.

  8. Setting up a conversion problem • Set the problem up like you are multiplying two fractions. • The unit of measure in the given value must cancel out. • The remaining unit of measure will be in the answer.

  9. The Conversion Problem Given (given) x Unknown (unit) = Unknown (looking for) 1 Given (unit) * Convert: 100 lbs to kgs * Set up the problem: 1. lbs is the Given value or starting value 2. kg is the Unknown or what you are looking for (end) (Conversion factor) (Given) (Answer)

  10. Conversion Factor Convert:100 lbs to kgs: GIVEN: 100 pounds UNKNOWN: ? Kg CONVERSION FACTOR:2.2 lbs = 1 kg * Place the conversion factor into the formula so the Given units will cancel out .

  11. Conversion from one system to another Conversion Factor Samples: 2.2 lbs per kg 0.45 kg per lb. 0.62 miles per kilometer 454 gm per lb. 1.0567 qts. per liter 28.3 gm per ounce 3.785 liters per gallon 473 ml per pint 39.37 inches per meter 2.54 cm per inch 0.3937 inches per cm * Conversion factors also provided in Lesson #4 handout

  12. Conversion Practice Convert:500 kgs into lbs Conversion factor:2.2 lbs = 1 kg

  13. Conversion Practice Given x Unknown = Unknown 1 Given Convert :50 cm to inches Conversion factor:2.54 cm per inch 50 cm x ____ in = ______ in = __________ in 1 cm (Given) (Conversion factor) (Answer)

  14. Conversion Practice Given x Unknown = Unknown 1 Given Convert :12 inches to centimeters Conversion factor:2.54 cm = inch _____ in x ____ cm = ______ cm = _________cm 1 in

  15. Conversion Practice Given x Unknown = Unknown 1 Given Convert:20 liters to gallons Conversion factor:3.785 liters per gallon 20 L x ______ gallon = ______ gallon = _____ gallon 1 L

  16. Conversion Practice Convert:26 gallons to L Conversion factor:3.785 liters per gallon

  17. Conversion within the metric system. • You will need a copy of the metric table to perform these calculations

  18. Conversion within the metric system. • Use the same formula: Given x Unknown = Unknown 1 Given (Given) (Conversion factor) (Answer)

  19. Metric Conversion • Count the number of places you are moving on the metric table to determine the conversion factor. • Each is a multiple of 10. • One place = 10 • Two places = 100 • Three places = 1000

  20. Metric Conversion • Determine where that conversion factor should be placed in the formula. • Ask yourself “Which is larger, the Given unit of measure or the Unknown unit of measure?” • The larger number gets 1 and the smaller gets the conversion factor.

  21. Metric Conversion –Set up Given x Unknown = Unknown 1 Given Convert: 50 mL to Liters 50 mL x ____ L = ______ L = _____ 1 ____ mL (Given) (Conversion factor) (Answer)

  22. Metric Conversion –Determine the Factor Convert: 50 mL to Liters • Determine conversion factor by counting places: L dL cL mL = 3 places 1000 100 10 * mL is 1000 times smaller than a Liter because it is to the right of the Liter 3 places

  23. Metric Conversion –Insert the Factor Convert: 50 mL to Liters 50 mL x __1__ L = _______ L = ______ 1 1000 mL • Place conversion factor into formula with larger unit receiving the “1” • mL is 1000 times smaller than a 1 Liter

  24. Metric Conversion - Solve Given x Unknown = Unknown 1 Given Convert: 30 L to mL ____ L x _____mL = ______ mL = ____ 1 ____ L Liter is larger so it gets the “___” and mL is ___ times smaller.

  25. Practice - Metric Conversion • Convert from or to the basic unit: 25 Liters to mL = ______________ 50 mL to Liters = _______________ 45 Liters to mL = _______________ 6 ML to Liters = ________________ (remember M = Mega)

  26. Practice - Metric Conversion • Convert across or to sides of basic unit: 25 mL to mL = ______________ 45 kg to Mg = _______________

  27. ASSIGNMENTS • Sibberson Math Book: • Chapter 1 • Read Page 1 – 3 • Do First & Second Sample Set - pgs 2 & 3 • Practice problems – page 7, #1 – 15 • Continue work on objectives.
