Let's Review: Basis Units of Measure length capacity mass/weight The relationships among some commonly used customary and metric units of measure are shown in the tables below. 12 inches 1 foot 100 centimeters | 1 meter 16 ounces 1 pound 1,000 grams | 1 kilogram 8 pints 1 gallon 1,000 milters 1 liter 3 feet 4 yard 10 millimeters | 1 centimeter 5,280 feet 1 mile 1,000 milligrams | 1 gram Each of the relationships in the tables can be written as a UnitiFatio. Like a unit rate, a unit ratio is one in which the denominator is 1 unit. Can you give an example of a unit ratio?

You can convert one rate to an equivalent rate by using multiplying by a unit ratio or its reciprocal. Use the units in your computation. Ext A remote control car travels at a rate of 10 feet per second. c= How many inches per second is this? é Ex.2 A swordfish can swim at a rate of 60 miles per hour. How many feet per hour is this? You can use 1 mile = 5,280 feet to convert the rates.oA gull can fly at a speed of 22 miles per hour. About how many feet per hour can the gull fly? > The Shinkansen passenger train of Japan travels at a rate of 300 kilometers per hour. How many meters per hour is this speed?
