Unit Rate Conversion Concepts

This video tutorial covers converting unit rates, focusing on understanding unit ratios and dimensional analysis. It includes step-by-step examples and practice problems, guiding students through converting between customary and metric units. The lesson emphasizes the importance of including units in computations and provides guided practice for students to apply the concepts learned.

What materials are suggested to have ready before starting the lesson on unit rate conversion?

• A laptop, headphones, and a calculator

• Lined paper, colored pencils, and a calculator

• Lined paper, colored pencils, and a regular pencil with an eraser

• Graph paper, a ruler, and a calculator

What is the primary difference between customary and metric units of measure?

• Metric units are used for liquids, while customary units are used for solids.

• Customary units are used in the United States, while metric units are used in most other countries.

• Customary units are used worldwide, while metric units are used only in the United States.

• Metric units are used for scientific purposes, while customary units are used for everyday purposes.

When setting up a unit ratio, what must the denominator always be?

• A fraction

• The same as the numerator

• One

• Zero

What is dimensional analysis?

• A method of measuring dimensions in architecture

• A process of including units of measure as factors in computations

• A technique for converting temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit

• A way to calculate the area of a shape

In the example of converting feet per second to inches per second, what is the conversion factor used?

In the example of converting miles per hour to miles per minute, what is the final step?

• Multiply by 60

• Divide by 60

• Add 60

• Subtract 60

What is a double conversion in the context of unit rate conversion?

• Converting a unit and then converting it back

• Converting a unit twice

• Converting two units at the same time

• Converting a unit using two different methods
