Question

So I am lost and I don't know how what any of those conversion factor things are and I'm wondering how to do #2,3, and 4. (I did not know what I was doing for 2,3,&4 btw)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

#2.

A centigram is 1/100 of a gram, so that means a gram equals 100 centigrams.

Therefore you multiply 72.4 grams by 100/1 (or just 100), and get 7240 cg.

You did that one right but put the wrong unit in the answer. It is is cg ( centigrams).

#3.

1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters, and I kiloliter is equal to 1000 liters. So one kiloliter is 1000*1000 milliliters or 1,000,000 milliliters.

The conversion factor would be

1/1000000

#4.

1 gigabyte is equal to 10^9 bytes.

I byte is equal to 10^9 bytes.

So 1 gigabyte is 10^9 * 10^9 nanobytes, or 10^18.

The conversion factor would be (1*10^18)/1.
