Conversion of Units Mevilyn Paña, LPT
More conversion of lengths are in the table below.

Example 1. Convert the following measures as indicated.

a. 87 centimeters (cm) to in c. 350 ft to km
b. 22 km to m d. 60 yd to m
Solutions. Use the values in the table to solve the conversion.
Observe the examples below, the measure that we wanted will be placed
as the numerator.
¿ =87 ÷ 2.54=34.25 ⅈn ¿
a. 87 cm ×1∈ 2.54
1 000 m cm
b. 22 km× 1 km =22× 1000=22 000 m
0.3048 m
c. 350 ft × =350 ×0.3048=106.68 m
1 ft
0.001 km
106.68 m× =106.68 × 0.001=0.10668 km
1 m
0.9144 m
d. 60 yd × 1 yd =60 ×0.9144=54.864 m
Units used to measure time and their corresponding equivalences:
1 minute (min) = 60 s
1 hour (hr) = 60 min
1 day (d) = 24 hr
1 week (wk) =7d
1 month (mo) = 30 d
1 year (yr) = 12 mo = 365 d =52 wk
 1 leap year =366 d
1 decade =10 yr
1 score = 20 yr
1 century = 100 yr
1 millennium (pl. millennia) = 1 000 yr
Example 2. Convert the following measures as indicated.
a. 23 100 sec ¿ hr b. 52 000 yr ¿ centuries
1 min 1 century
23 100 sec × =385 min 52 000 yr × =520 century
60 sec 100 yr
1 hr
385 min × =6.41 66 hr
60 min
c. 2.5 yr ¿ days
365 d
2.5 yr × =912.5 d

Example 3. Convert the following measures of temperature as indicated.
a. 131 ℉ ¿ ℃ 5(℉−32) 5 (131−32) 5( 99)
¿ = = =55 ℃
