Why is 12 inches 1 foot a conversion factor ?

Mathematics

I have no better answer than simply, because there are 12 inches in a foot.

By definition a conversion factor is one unit being used to express a group or multiple of another unit. Just like how there are 12 of anything in one dozen. 100 years in one century. 365 days in one year. 100 centimeters in a meter. 4 quarts in one gallon. 10 dimes in one dollar. They are equal to each other and, thus, can be used as conversion factors.

Mary has 40% fewer marbles than Jolie. If they combine all their marbles in a single bag, what percent of the marbles in the bag
dedylja [7]
The easiest way to do this would be to imagine that Jolie has 100 marbles. If Mary has 40% fewer, that means she has 60 marbles. Then if they combine all their marbles into a single bag, they will have 160 marbles, of which 100 are Jolie's. So the % that is Jolie's is 100/160 = 0.625 = 62.5%.
