How can I convert unit measurements?
Answer
In order to convert unit measurements. You can do so by follow these steps. First< you need to what is given as in terms of the starting unit versus the desired units. Second, find the conversion factor(12 inches=1 foot, 1 gram= 1,000 milligrams). Third, you would have to set up the calculation by creating fractions. In this case you would have to ensure that the appropriate units get cancelled out and placed in the denominator of the fraction.
Here is an example lets say you wanna convert 5 grams to milligrams.
So we know that 1g=1,000mg
Now we setup our calculation to 5g times 1000mg/g
From there we cancel out the "g" which now gives us 5 times 1000 which gives 5000
Therefore our solution is 5000mg.
