Conversions What is mass? – The amount of matter in an object What is weight? – The force of gravity on an object at the surface of a planet.
Conversions Our weight is determined by the place we live. If we went to The Moon our weight would be less. Our mass is determined by the amount of matter that makes us. Our mass never changes.
Conversions The customary system uses Ounces (Oz) Pounds (lb) Tons The SI system uses Milligrams Centigrams Decigrams Grams Dekagrams Hectograms Kilograms
Conversions The conversion patterns are just like the ones we use for distance. – When we have inches (smaller unit) converting to feet (larger unit) we divide. – When we have feet (larger unit) converting to inches (smaller unit) we multiply. Pounds to tons we ____ Ounces to pounds we____ Tons to pounds we____ Pounds to ounces_____
Conversions Here are the conversions 16 Oz=1 lb 32, 000 Oz= 1 ton 2, 000 lbs = 1 ton
Bellwork Convert the following 3 ft = ____in 3 lbs = ____ T 36 in =_____yards 1 T=_____ lbs
Conversions 16 Oz = 1 lb – 32 Oz=____lb – 48 Oz =___lb – 64 Oz=____lb – 128 Oz= ___lb
Conversions 1 lb=16 OZ – 3 lbs=____Oz – 12 lbs=____Oz – 9 lbs=____Oz – 5 lbs=___Oz
Conversions 2, 000 lbs=1 ton – 4, 000 lbs=____ton – 16, 000 lbs=___ ton – 6, 000 lbs=____ton – 24, 000 lbs=___ton
Conversions What is capacity? – the maximum amount or number that can be contained or accommodated The customary system uses Fluid ounces (fl. oz) Cups (c) Pint (pt) Quart (qt) Gallon (gal) The SI system uses Milliliters Centiliters Deciliters Liters Dekaliters Hectoliters Kiloliters
Conversions Ounces 8 fl oz = 1 c 16 fl oz = 1 pt 32 fl oz = 1 qt 128 fl oz = 1 gal Cups 2 c= 1 pt 4 c = 1 qt 16 c= 1 gal Pints 2 pt = 1 qt 8 pt = 1 gal Quarts 4 qt = 1 gal
Conversions Remember Small unit to big unit means to divide Big unit to small unit means to multiply Feet to inches_____ Gallons to pints _____ Pounds to ounces ______ Yards to miles_____ Cups to quarts____ Pound to Tons_____
Conversions Now it is time for some practice.
