How do you convert units within a measurement system

1 answer:

5 0

You have to know how the value of one unit corresponds to the value of the other unit. For example you have to know that there are 100 cm in 1 m or 1000 m in 1 km. It's easy in metric measurement system because it's all about multiplying/dividing by 10 or its multiplications. But in American/English system you just have to learn the values.

For example:

1 km = 1000 m = 10000 dm = 100000 cm = 1000000 mm

But:

1 mile = 1760 yards = 5280 feet = 63360 inches

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The midpoint of a line segment joining (a, b) and (c,d) is given by the formula $(\frac{a+c}{2},\frac{b+d}{2} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

If point M in the figure lies midway between points $P(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $Q(x_{2},y_{2})$ , point M is called the midpoint of segment. To find the coordinates of M, we average the x-coordinates and average the y-coordinates of P and Q.
