Best Answer

The whole point of converting one quantity to another is that the value that

you start with and the value that you end with must be equal.

There's only one thing you can multiply the first value by, without changing it

into something different, and that's ' 1 '. If you multiply it by anything else,

you'll change it, and it won't be equal to whatever you end up with.

You can multiply anything you want to by (1-foot/12-inches) or by (7-days/1-week),

or by (1-day/24-hours), because those are all equal to ' 1 '.
