This week learning about conversion factors it’s easy now to see in every day life how many of something make up something else. For example, 60 seconds in one minute or 4 quarters in a dollar.
I apply scientific notation to math class. We have to multiply big numbers, but when I use scientific notation I can put my answer neatly. Also I use the tricks we learned on calculators for daily life.
Don’t give people a fish reach them how to fish.
After figuring out how to do conversion factors and how to apply them, it is easy to see how we uses them every day. I use them in math with long numbers. I also use conversion factors in my baking.
by learning to do conversion factors I can help my grandmother with cooking by converting grams to liters.
I could apply these conversion factors if I ever go to a foreign country with a different measurement system than ours.
I have used chemistry to see how fast things are going by using conversion factors.
By learning to do conversion factors I could help my mom with her cooking of a pie converting from L to mg.
