    (Unit Conversion) Worksheet

    Conversions
    1 hour = 60 minutes 1 mile = 5280 feet 1 yard = 3 feet
    1 meter = 3.28 feet 1 km = 0.62 miles 1 light second = 300,000,000 meters
    1 kg = 2.2 lbs 1 lb = 0.45 kg 1 quart = 0.946 liters
    1 m/s = 2.2 miles/hour 1 foot = 12 inches 1 inch = 2.54 cm = 25.4 mm
    1000 m = 1 kilometer 1000 mm = 1 meter 100 cm = 1 meter
    10 mm = 1 centimeter 1 minute = 60 seconds

    Convert the following quantities using Dimensional Analysis and showing ALL of
    your work including the units. Use the steps in the textbox at the bottom of the page
    to help you!

    A. 565,900 seconds into days

    B. 17 years into minutes

    C. 43 miles into feet

    D. 165 pounds into kilograms

    Steps for Dimensional Analysis:


    1. Write the ‘given’ as a fraction with ‘1' as the denominator. (If the
    number you are converting from has two units (like m/s or km/hr) put
    the second unit on the bottom with the ‘1'.
    2. Write a multiplication sign and a line indicating another fraction.
    3. In the denominator of this second fraction, write the unit of the given
    (so that it will cancel). In the numerator, write the unit that you are
    converting to
    4. By the unit that is larger, write a ‘1'. By the other number write the
    conversion factor.
    5. Multiply and Divide to get the answer. Make sure your answer has a
    unit!
    E. 100 yards into meters

    F. 22,647 inches into miles

    G. 2678 cm into feet

    H. 60 miles per hour into meters per second

    I. 130 meters per second into miles per hour

    J. 1100 feet per second into miles per hour

    K. 53 yards per hour into inches per week

    L. 721 lbs per week into kg per second

    Steps for Dimensional Analysis:


    1. Write the ‘given’ as a fraction with ‘1' as the denominator. (If the
    number you are converting from has two units (like m/s or km/hr) put
    the second unit on the bottom with the ‘1'.
    2. Write a multiplication sign and a line indicating another fraction.
    3. In the denominator of this second fraction, write the unit of the given
    (so that it will cancel). In the numerator, write the unit that you are
    converting to
    4. By the unit that is larger, write a ‘1'. By the other number write the
    conversion factor.
    5. Multiply and Divide to get the answer. Make sure your answer has a
    unit!
