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 cm ×1∈ ¿ =87 ÷ 2.54=34.25 ⅈn ¿

a. 2.54 cm
1 000 m
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×0.9144 m =106.68 × 0.001=0.10668 km
60 yd × 1 m =60 ×0.9144=54.864 m

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
23 100 sec × =385 min 1 century
60 sec 52 000 yr × =520 century
1 hr 100 yr
385 min × =6.41 66 hr
60 min
c. 2.5 yr ¿ days
365 d
2.5 yr × =912.5 d
