What is It

To be able to solve problems similar to the given activity, we need to practice the skill
of converting measurements from one unit to another.

CONVERSION OF MEASUREMENTS FROM ONE UNIT TO ANOTHER

Conversion of units is the conversion between different units of measurement

for the same quantity, typically through multiplicative conversion factors. Conversion
Factor is a number used to change one set of units to another, either by multiplying or
dividing. This involves the English System which is based on a non-universal way of
measuring by means of human body parts or other instrument and the Metric System
which is based on a decimal system.
The conversion could be from same system: English System to English System
or Metric System to Metric System. It could also be from English System to Metric
System and vice versa.
The table of conversion is needed to convert one unit to another unit.

SOLVING PROBLEMS INVOLVING CONVERSION OF UNITS OF MEASURE

Knowledge of measurement and problem-solving strategies are necessary in

solving routine and nonroutine word problems. Many problems can be solved using
arithmetic or algebraic processes. There are problems, however, that can be solved by
simply drawing a diagram.

Example 1. There is a jar on the cabinet by the refrigerator. If Keona pours 114 ounces of
water into the jar three times to fill it, how many quarts of water does it take to fill the jar?

Solution:
114 x 3 = 342 ounces of water in 3 jars
342 ounces = ________ quarts
To convert ounces to quarts, we need the following equivalents:
8 oz = I cup
2 c = 1 pt
2 pt = 1 qt

1𝑐 1 𝑝𝑡 1 𝑞𝑡 342 𝑞𝑡
Thus, 342 𝑜𝑧 x x x = = 𝟏𝟎. 𝟔𝟗 𝒒𝒕.
8 𝑜𝑧 2𝑐 2 𝑝𝑡 32

16
 Therefore, it takes 10.69 quarts of water to fill the three jars.
Example 2. A tamaraw calf was 2 foot 5 inches long. Fully grown, it is 3 times as long.
How long is the fully grown tamaraw?

2ft 5 in 2ft 5 in
X 3

Solution: First, we multiply each unit by 5.

(2ft 5in) (3) = 6ft 15in

To convert 15 inches to feet, we multiply the inches by the conversion

factor.

1 𝑓𝑡
6ft 15in = 6ft + (15in x (12 𝑖𝑛))

= 6ft + 1 ft + 3 in = 7ft 3 in.

Example 3. How much water, in cubic centimeters, can a cubical water tank hold if it
has an edge of 3 meters?
Solution 1: (using a conversion factor)

i. Volume = e3 = (3m)3 = 27m3

100𝑐𝑚3
ii. 27m3 x 1 𝑚3
= 27,000,000 cm3
Solution 2:
100𝑐𝑚3
i. 3m x 1 𝑚3
= 300 cm

ii. Volume = e3 = (300cm)3 = 27, 000, 000 cm3

Example 4. Joel is using a bed which is 2 meters long and 1.3 meters wide. What is the
size of the bed in square centimeters?

Step 1: Step 2:

100 𝑑𝑚2 100 𝑐𝑚2

Area= l x w Area= 2.6 𝑚2 x x = 26, 000 𝑐𝑚2
1 𝑚2 1 𝑑𝑚2
Area = 2 m x 1.3 m
Area = 2.6
Example 5. A forwarding company charges ₱1,100 for the first 20 kg and ₱60 for each

succeeding 2 kg for freight sent to Europe. How much do you need to pay for a box

weighing 88 lb?

Solution:
Step 1: Step 4:

88 lb x
0.45 𝑘𝑔
= 39.6 kg 20 kg = ₱1,100
1 𝑙𝑏 19.6 kg = ₱ 588
₱1,688
Step 2:
Conclusion:

39.6 kg -20 kg = 19.6 kg Therefore, the company pays ₱1,688

for 88 lb of box.

 Summary:

• When converting measurements from one unit to another, it is

very important that we know the table of conversion because this
will serve as our reference.
• There are measurements that have no direct conversion in the
table, so we should know the easiest conversion factor to start
with.
• The mastery of prerequisite knowledge and skills in conversion is
necessary in solving problems involving conversion of units with
the different strategies in problem solving.
