What are abiotic and biotic factors of a kelp forest?
abiotic factors are the NONLIVING factors of the kelp forest and the biotic factors are the living things.
How is 4 feet in meters?
Here are the necessary conversions:1 ft = 12 in1 in = 2.54 cm1 m = 100 cmWhen using conversions like these, you need to make sure that the units you start with get canceled out, so the units you started with need to be in the denominator (bottom of the fraction) in your conversion factor.So we have the conversion factors*:1 = 12 in/ft1 = 2.54 cm/in1 = 1/100 m/cm = .01 m/cm(cm in denominator because previous step left us with cm)Notice that conversion factors equal 1. So when we multiply what we were given by a conversion factor, we aren't changing the value, just the units.4 ft 8 in = 4 ft * (12 in/ft) + 8 in = 4 * 12 in + 8 in = 48 in + 8 in = 56 in56 in = 56 in * (2.54 cm/in) = 142.24 cm142.24 cm = 142.24 cm * (.01 m/cm) = 1.4224 mso,4 ft 8 in = 1.4224 m---- * NOTE: Using conversion factors in this problem was pretty straightforward but what if your conversion didn't have a 1 on one side? Or, what if you were converting in the other direction?EX: 55 mi = 88 km (which I remember from speed limit signs in Canada)If we divide both sides by 11, we get: 5 mi = 8 kmThere 2 sets of conversion factors, depending on what units you're given:If given mi: 1 = 8 km / 5 mi = 8/5 km/miIf given km: 1 = 5 mi / 8 km = 5/8 mi/kmSo now we can solve both types of questions:How many kilometers in 15 miles?15 mi = 15 mi * (8 km / 5 mi) = 3 * 8 km = 24 kmHow many miles in 16 kilometers?16 km = 16 km * (5 mi / 8 km) = 2 * 5 mi = 10 mi
What is an experiment in which all factors that are identical have?
Constants are the factors which do not change. Variables are the factors which change. If that is what you are referring to.
What is centimeters to km?
Here are the necessary conversions:1 km = 1000 m1 m = 100 cmWhen using conversions like these, you need to make sure that the units you start with get canceled out, so the units you started with need to be in the denominator (bottom of the fraction) in your conversion factor.So we have the conversion factors*:1 = 1000 m/km1 = 100 cm/mNotice that these conversion factors equal 1. So when we multiply what we were given by a conversion factor, we aren't changing the value, just the units.1 km = 1 km * (1000 m/km) = 1000 mand 1000 m = 1000 m * (100 cm/m) = 1000 * 100 cm = 100,000 cmso,1 km = 100,000 cm = 105 cm---- * NOTE: Using conversion factors in this problem was pretty straightforward but what if your conversion didn't have a 1 on one side? Or, what if you were converting in the other direction?EX: 55 mi = 88 km (which I remember from speed limit signs in Canada)If we divide both sides by 11, we get: 5 mi = 8 kmThere 2 sets of conversion factors, depending on what units you're given:If given mi: 1 = 8 km / 5 mi = 8/5 km/miIf given km: 1 = 5 mi / 8 km = 5/8 mi/kmSo now we can solve both types of questions:How many kilometers in 15 miles?15 mi = 15 mi * (8 km / 5 mi) = 3 * 8 km = 24 kmHow many miles in 16 kilometers?16 km = 16 km * (5 mi / 8 km) = 2 * 5 mi = 10 miI always found metric conversions to be troublesome. However, I used to teach school and used a couple of good websites to help me practice and learn some math skills that I was not very good at. Math.com is a great website that gives you sample problems and answers to practice skills ranging from elementary to high school level. I am making the basic assumption that you are working on many math problems using metrics and have more questions that are similar to this one. Good luck!
What is used to convert between units?
Conversion factors (equivalence between two measures) are used to convert between units
What conversion factors is a measured number?
An empirical conversion factor.
List down all conversion factors equivalent?
There are way too many conversion factors for all to be listed.
What kind of factors are ratios of equal quantities?
a conversion factor conversion factors people!i mean come on i am 12 and you are probably older than me and i no the answer!woo hooo! i am smartical!;) haha conversion factor!
How To change from one SI prefix to another we use .?
To change from one SI prefix to another, we use the conversion factor of 10 raised to the power of the difference between the two prefixes. For example, to convert from centimeters (10^-2) to meters (10^0), we use a conversion factor of 10^2. Simply multiply the value by this conversion factor to make the conversion.
Which statement is true The only factors are 1 and 8 The only factors of 11 are 1 and 11?
The second statement.
What are conversion factors used for?
A conversion factor is used to convert from one unit of measurement to another.
What is the effect of multiplying a given measurement by one or more conversion factors?
The effect of multiplying a given measurement by one or more conversion factors the value may be changed.
How do you compute metric conversion factors?
Once you look up the conversion factor, it is just a matter of multiplication.
Can you give me all the conversion factors?
No, it is not possible to do that: there are too many.
What are non-examples of conversion factors?
That's an infinite list.
How do you choose the appropriate conversion factors?
Normally, you do not choose them: you calculate them.
