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.
Answer:
<u> 105</u> students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The ratio of students who prefer pineapple to students who prefer kiwi is 12 to 5.
Now, to find number of students prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
Let the students prefer pineapple be 
And the students prefer kiwi be 
Total students = 357.
So, we set an equation to get the number of students who prefer kiwi.
According to question:
<em>Dividing both sides by 17 we get:</em>
<em>Thus, students prefer kiwi are:</em>
Therefore, 105 students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.

Answer:
8.31 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the cost of one share of Apple stock, C=$120
Rate is the increment of the stock value, R= 5%/week=0.05 / week.
Assuming that after t week, the stock has been sold for $180.
Since the stock value increased at 5% every week, so, the interest is compounded weekly, so
[taking log both sides]
weeks
Hence, after 8.31 weeks the stock has been sold for $180.
