3.2 unit conversions
In this activity you will convert measurements among units in both the U S Customary System and the SI system, and you will convert quantities between the two systems of measurement. You will also gain experience with converting units among units that are not specific to one measurement system (such as people and tanks of water) and use the skills you learn to solve everyday problems (such as calculating the cost of gas to travel a given distance).

Conclusions:
1. Why would you have to know how to convert measurements when looking at a technical drawing? Answer: To have the ability to remodel the design. 2. How can you use units to help you solve a problem? Answer: They tell engineerings the measurements of any shape, object, etc. With this information, they can use it to solve angles, sides, volume, or whatever else that may needed to solve the problem. |
