Example Questions
Example Question #1281 : Linear Equations
Convert 3 pints to cups.
To solve this conversion we have to remember that there are 2 cups per 1 pint.
In order to have cups left as our unit, we need to make sure that the other units cancel out by one being in the numerator and one being in the denominator.
Therefore, set up the following conversion and solve:
Example Question #1282 : Linear Equations
Convert 2 gallons to quarts.
To solve this conversion we have to remember that there are 4 quarts per 1 gallon.
In order to have quarts left as our unit, we need to make sure that the other units cancel out by one being in the numerator and one being in the denominator.
Therefore, set up the following conversion and solve:
Example Question #1283 : Linear Equations
Convert 16 inches to feet.
To solve this conversion we have to remember that there are 12 inches per 1 foot.
In order to have feet left as our unit, we need to make sure that the other units cancel out by one being in the numerator and one being in the denominator.
Therefore, set up the following conversion and solve:
From here we want to reduce the fraction. In order to do so, factor the numerator and denominator and cancel like terms.
Example Question #1284 : Linear Equations
Convert 12 pints to quarts.
To solve this conversion we have to remember that there are 2 pints per 1 quart.
In order to have quarts left as our unit, we need to make sure that the other units cancel out by one being in the numerator and one being in the denominator.
Therefore, set up the following conversion and solve:
Example Question #1285 : Linear Equations
Convert 24 ounces to cups.
To solve this conversion we have to remember that there are 8 ounces per 1 cup.
In order to have cups left as our unit, we need to make sure that the other units cancel out by one being in the numerator and one being in the denominator.
Therefore, set up the following conversion and solve:
Example Question #1286 : Linear Equations
Convert 2 quarts into gallons.
To solve this conversion we have to remember that there are 4 quarts per 1 gallon.
In order to have gallons left as our unit, we need to make sure that the other units cancel out by one being in the numerator and one being in the denominator.
Therefore, set up the following conversion and solve:
Example Question #1287 : Linear Equations
Convert 24 feet into yards.
To solve this conversion we have to remember that there are 3 feet per 1 yard.
In order to have yards left as our unit, we need to make sure that the other units cancel out by one being in the numerator and one being in the denominator.
Therefore, set up the following conversion and solve:
Example Question #1288 : Linear Equations
What is four feet in inches?
There are 12 inches in a foot.
Write the dimensional analysis to solve for inches.
