A conversion factor originally known as unity bracket method, is a mathematical tool for converting between units of measurement. It is sometimes referred to as a unit multiplier, and consists of a fraction in which the denominator is equal to the numerator. A conversion factor is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing its value. Because of the identity property of multiplication, the value of a number will not change as long as it is multiplied by one.Also, if the numerator and denominator of a fraction are equal to each other, then the fraction is equal to one. So as long as the numerator and denominator of the fraction are equivalent, they will not affect the value of the measured quantity. For example, Days are converted to hours, by multiplying the days by the conversion factor as 24. The conversion can be reversed by dividing, the hours, by 24 to get days; however, the reciprocal 1/24 could be considered the reverse conversion factor for an hours-to-days conversion, where 1/24 ~= 0.0416666666667. Hence, the term "conversion factor" is the multiplier which yields the result, not a divisor from that viewpoint. To yield hours, the conversion factor is 24, not 1/24, so: hours = days × 24 (multiplying by the factor). Examples of Conversion Factors Since 1 day = 24 hours = 1440 minutes, therefore 15 minutes (1 day/1440 minutes) = 15/1440 ~= 0.010416667 = ~0.01 days. Since 1 hour = 60 mins = 3600 seconds, therefore 7200 seconds = 120 mins = 2 hours.

Harry’s company can store 50,000 units of their new product in the warehouse, the maximum capacity for the warehouse. They sold
Nat2105 [25]

The company will take 47 weeks to fill the warehouse to its maximum capacity based on the current production rate.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

We have,

Maximum capacity for the warehouse = 50,000 units

Pre-orders = 20,000 units

Number of units produced per week = 3000 units

Number of orders per week = 1500 units

The number of weeks to fill the warehouse to its maximum capacity:

We can make an equation as:

3000M - 1500M - 20,000 = 50,000 ____(1)

M = number of weeks

From (1) we get,

M ( 3000 - 1500 ) - 20,000 = 50,000 ____(2)

1500M - 20,000 = 50,000

1500M = 50,000 + 20,000

1500M = 70,000

M = 46.66 weeks

M = 47 weeks

We can also see that,

From (2),

M ( 3000 - 1500 ) - 20,000

47 x 1500 - 20,000

70,500 - 20,000

50,500

Thus,

The company will take 47 weeks to fill the warehouse to its maximum capacity based on the current production rate.

The weight of an object on a particular scale is 145.2 lbs. The measured weight may vary from the actual weight by at most 0.3 l
joja [24]

1. Know what you're looking for:

The range is the difference between the lowest and highest values.

Your weight is 145.2 and can vary from the actual weight by maximum 0.3 lbs less or maximum 0.3 lbs more.


2. Calculate your lowest and highest values :


Lowest : 145.2 - 0.3 = 144.9 lbs

Highest : 145.2 + 0.3 = 145.5 lbs


3. Calculate the range of actual weights of the object :


145.5 - 144.9 = 0.6 lbs


--> The answer is: <u>The range of actual weights of the object is 0.6 lbs.</u>


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
