Question

Which of the following is not a valid conversion factor?

Answer 1

Answer:

Out of the 3 that were listed, the "conversion" that is invalid is 1 meter = 10 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

First: Well, for something like this, you don't really need steps, you just need to know how to do process of elimination and also your conversions:

We know that 1 meter is 100 centimeters

We know 1 kilometer is 1000 meters

We know that 1 meter is 10 millim....... Wait. Do we know that?

No! 1 meter is not 10 millimeters, it's 1000 millimeters. So 1 meter = 10 millimeters is invalid.

Answer 2

Answer:

1 meter/10 millimeters is not a valid conversion factor

Step-by-step explanation:

The following conversion factors are valid

1 meter = 100 centimeters

1 mL = 1cm

1 kilometer = 1000 meters

The only conversion factor that is not valid is 1metre = 10millimeter

1meter in millimetres is the same as 10 in 3places not in one place as given in question.

1metres = (10×10×10)mm

1metres = 1000mm

The valid conversion factor is therefore 1m = 1000mm not 1metre = 10mm
